Died August 15, 2017 at Medilodge of Kalamazoo, at the age of 86. Imogene was born July 30, 1931 in Homer, MI, a daughter of Lewis and Florence (Crandall) Truax. Imogene loved the sight and smell of beautiful flowers. She loved watching Law & Order and Matlock on TV daily. She always wanted everyone to smile and enjoy their day. She loved being around family and never wanted them to leave when over for a visit. She really loved to cook and bake and could always put together a great meal. She went by many names; mom, grandma, grannie, Aunt Jean, Aunt Imy, Aunt Imogene, and don't pronounce Imogene wrong unless you wanted a dirty look!!! Imogene was preceded in death by her husband, William De Vries; son, William A. De Vries, Jr. (2009); a grandson Fred Anson Lewis; one brother and two sisters; and five half brothers and sisters. Surviving are her children, Freida (Tom) Wiessew and Fred S.

A memorial service will be held at 1:00pm Saturday, August 19th at the Langeland Family Funeral Homes, Memorial Chapel, 622 S. Burdick St. with the Rev. Greg Carlson officiating. Friends may meet the family on Saturday before the service, from 12-1:00pm at the funeral home.
