Iona was born on June 24, 1926, to Henry and Iona Friday in Fouke, Arkansas.  She graduated from Central Genoa High School in Genoa, Arkansas.  After high school, she went to Western Union School in Springfield, Missouri.  From there, she was sent to Greenville, Texas where she met Robert Lincycomb.  They were married in May of 1946 and then moved to Corpus Christi.  They lived in France with their oldest two children, where Robert was stationed, during the early 1950s.  Afterward, they moved with their four children to Lampasas in 1961.

Iona worked at Terry Lynn's for a bit and also enjoyed working at her sister's flower shop.  She was a great seamstress and always enjoyed making outfits and stuffed animals.  After Robert's passing in 1989, Iona loved going on trips with several of her sisters. These were memories she held onto until her passing. 

Iona was preceded in death by her parents; her brothers, Jack, J.E., and William Bryant; her sisters, Henrietta Vickers, Evelyn McDonald, and Pauline Scoggins; her children, Cynthia Irene Lincycomb-Parker and Robert Scott Lincycomb.

Left to cherish her sweet memories are her sister, Ima Nell Sams; her children, Gerald Dean Lincycomb (Alissa) and Sharon Denise Lincycomb-McCarter (James), as well as many grandchildren, great-grandchildren, nieces, and nephews.
