Imogene and I met at Naval Ordnance Station more than 40 years ago and we remained friends thereafter. She was such a treasure to me and I am so sorry that we will not get together again on this side of Heaven. But praise the Lord, we will meet there. i love her and will truly miss spending time with her when I next go to Louisville. In the bosom of the Father--what a place to be!!!

Mrs. McElroy valued intelligence and education highly. She was an avid reader, a sharp intellect and thinker. Through these and other humane qualities, which she imparted to her family,she made her mark on our community, and left a legacy. She will be missed by many.

She worked at NOSL. I knew her to be an example to those at NOSL that knew her. And she had a keen since of timing when she was showing her sense of humor. Our community needs people like her in these times and in all times.

To The McElroy Family, your mom was always like my second mom in our pretty tightknit neighborhood, watching over me, Donna and friends. I always felt comfortable in your home with all of you and the music and love flowed majestically. My heart is heavy but my spirit is uplifted with having been blessed with the presence of your beloved sweet mother in my life! May God continue to shower ALL of you with His blessings!
