Imogene was an active member of the First Baptist Church in Oran, Missouri. She enjoyed teaching Sunday School class along with Bible School in the summers. She sang in the church choir and was a member of WMU and the Golden Agers. She retired from Thorngates, where she was a presser for many years.
