Imogene was so nice to share her upbringings with another Buckeye . We were at a UMW meeting at Brenda's and she had a ball with the rest of us. My condolences for a wonderful lady.

Dear Family, I have known Ms. Priester for more than 35 years. She substituted a my school, she has been a neighbor and a very special friend. I watched her care lovingly for her husband and rave about her children and grandchildren. When she became sick she took it as though it was just another little trial to deal with and continued on with her service in her church and to her Lord. That beautiful lady will leave a giant hole where she shone in this world. My family and I will miss her dearly and you should be so very proud of that strong, loving and kind woman. God Bless you all.

Ladies and family, I have only known Mrs. Priester a little over two years. In such a short amount of time she has made a big impact on my husband's and my life. She has a very big heart. One of tenderness and compassion. For two years Mrs. Prister opened up her home every Tuesday and created an atmosphere of such an unconditional welcoming love that you could feel the Holy Spirit hanging out so we could grow in our walk with Christ. I will be truly miss her. Thank you for sharing her with me.

To Tavie & Wanda and family,
My heart just breaks at the loss of Ms Priester. I will miss her dearly. As a child she was one who kept me straight rather at church or at school (when she would sub for teachers); as an adult she has been someone who has brought me and my husband in to serve at our church in the Bread of Life, she has been someone I've looked up to as a christian & has helped me in my walk as a christian. Her faith was unshakable. While I will miss her so, I know shes in heaven with our LORD and SAVIOR. 2 Timothy 4:7
