Extending my condolences to the family. Though I was five years younger than Imogene I attended the Methodist Church with the
Poos and Cook families until my marriage. I'm sure Imogene's
warm smile and enthusiasm will be missed by many.

To Imogene's Family,
I worked with Imogene at Scott till she retired. She was a wonderful lady and loved her work. She always had good ideas for the library programs.
I remember all the Christmas trees she had in her house. Her and Charles loved to square dance. I have many memories of Imogene.
