Toleda Niedens Imler

Toleda was born on October 4, 1914 in Herington, KS to Henry and Susie (Friesen) Niedens. After her family moved to Kansas City from Herington, she met the love of her life, Irvin Imler and they married on December 30, 1936. Toleda was an active member of the First Seventh-day Adventist Church of Kansas City, Kansas and worked most of her life for the Railroad Express Agency. While living and working in Kansas City, they enjoyed most of their free time at the Lake of the Ozarks. After retirement in 1975, she and Irvin moved to their beloved mountaintop log home on Lake Ouachita, in Mountain Pine, Arkansas.

She and Irvin were known far and wide as Aunt Toleda and Uncle Irvin. They were very active with the nearby church camp, Camp Yorktown Bay, and with the Seventh-day Adventist church in Hot Springs, where Toleda was the longtime treasurer.

After Irvin’s passing in 2001, Toleda moved to Colorado to be near her baby brother, Wayne and his wife Shirley and their children, living first in Greeley, then in Broomfield, Colorado. She joined the Chapel Haven SDA Church prior to moving ‘back home’ to the greater Kansas City area to live in the apartment building with widowed sister-in-law Shirley.

Mrs. Imler was preceded in death by her husband Irvin Imler; brothers Ruben and Wayne Niedens, baby sister Gladys Marie and 2 nieces Donna Niedens and Diana Norris.

She is survived by her sister-in-law, Shirley Niedens of Shawnee, KS; brother-in-law, Ralph Imler of Osceola, MO; 3 nieces, Shirlayne (Steven) Kinser of Shawnee, KS, Cindy (Dan) Snyder of Rio Vista, CA, Tammy (Dave) Smith of Broomfield, CO; great nieces and nephews, Jason, Pete, Justin, Jared, Chase, Stephanie, Brandon and hundreds of ‘nieces and nephews’ around the world.
