I had the pleasure of knowing & working with Imogene through the advisory board of the Dental assisting program & found her to be a dedicated professional, as well as always having the welfare of her students uppermost in mind. The lives of all who came in contact with her were made richer by her presence.

I am so sorry to learn of Mrs. Myers' passing. I was just thinking of her a few days ago. She touched so many lives through her dental assisting / teaching career, one of which was mine. I was in her first class. "Mama Myers" was a respected, one of a kind lady and she will be missed. Prayers for all,
