Early in their marriage Imogene and Vibert were residents of Mountain View, Mo. Vibert was a business owner and Imogene stayed at home with the children. In the 1970s, Imogene became interested in the real estate industry and began a career as a business woman. As the children grew up and left the home, both she and Vibert were in real estate full time.
Imogene enjoyed success in the real estate field and was a very detailed business woman.
Imogene will be sadly missed by all who knew and loved her. Graveside services were held Wednesday, Jan. 4, 2012, at Greenlawn Cemetery in Mountain View, Mo., with Mike Cronk officiating under the direction of Duncan Funeral Homes.
