Key points

Irma Jean Broughton, age 68, passed away on July 15, 2026, just days shy of her birthday. Born in Pensacola, Florida, on July 23, 1957, she was a cherished member of the local community.

Irma was preceded in death by her parents, Mr. Austin Sr. and Mrs. Edna Broughton, as well as her sister, Gloria Strickland, and brother, Frederick Broughton. She was a devoted member of Deliverance Tabernacle Christian Center, where she served on the Mother Board until her health began to decline.

Known for her exceptional academic achievements, Irma graduated from Pensacola High School in 1975 and continued her education at Pensacola State College, earning a degree in the medical field. She was recognized as one of the most knowledgeable histologists, working alongside pathologists and managing laboratories in Pensacola, Fort Walton Beach, and Crestview, concluding her career at West Florida Hospital.

Irma was well-loved for her generosity and her ability to see the good in everyone. She is fondly remembered by her family and friends, who describe her as an angel on earth. Her only son, Lathan Stanton, along with her brothers, Eddie Lee Young, Stephen Douglass Broughton, and Austin (Patricia) Broughton Jr., survive her, along with numerous nieces, nephews, and cousins.

Her homegoing service will take place on July 28 at 11 a.m. at Deliverance Tabernacle Christian Center, located at 1780 W Detroit Blvd, Pensacola. Irma will be laid to rest at Holy Cross Cemetery alongside her beloved family members.

In her memory, flowers can be sent to Joe Morris & Son Funeral Home. Irma’s favorite scripture was Galatians 6:9, which reminds us to “not become weary in well doing, for in due time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.” Her legacy will continue to inspire those who knew and loved her.
