She was born September 8, 1915, in Martha, Oklahoma, (Jackson County) the daughter of Rufus H. and Effie (Moore) Miller. Imogene moved with her family to Norman when she was just nine years old, attending Norman Public Schools, graduating from Norman High School on June 1, 1934. She became the bride of Mr. William Edward Meyer later that same day in Norman. They made their home in Norman, later welcoming their daughter, Janet Meyer, on September 16, 1935.Imogene was an outstanding mother and wife, caring and nurturing her family with tenderness and care. She loved music and often hosted "jam sessions" at her home, featuring the talents of the fiddle, guitar, piano, and many other instruments. Imogene enjoyed cooking and baking for her family and would find any opportunity she could to bring people together for food and fellowship. She also enjoyed gardening, caring for her yard and growing beautiful flowers. Later in life, Imogene developed a fondness for golf. Because of her eye for beautiful landscape, she also enjoyed the awesome view of the professional golf courses and its colorful background for flowers and trees. Like so many of her generation, Imogene was a very conservative lady, known for her responsible nature in making wise decisions. In 1971 Imogene welcomed a beautiful granddaughter, Susan McGee, who quickly became the apple of her eye. Imogene and Susan developed a very close relationship that continued throughout Imogene's life. Imogene was very proud of the fact that she, her daughter, Janet, and her granddaughter, Susan, all graduated from Norman High School. Imogene was a member of the McFarlin Memorial United Methodist Church, the Silver Spur Square Dance Club and the Air Streams Travel Club. Imogene had been a resident of the Rivermont Gardens Assisted Living since 2006, and her family wishes to extend their gratitude and appreciation to the assisted living staff for their five years of loving care and attention. Imogene will forever live in the hearts and minds of so many people whose lives she touched over the years.
