Mrs. Imogene Eliza Meyer, age 95, of Norman passed away two
days before her 96th birthday on Tuesday evening, September
6, 2011 at the Rivermont Gardens Assisted Living in Norman.
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 it's 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 through out Imogene's life.
Imogene was very proud of the fact that her, 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.
