Joyce,
As a volunteer for RAOGK, you should know specific information on the person you seek, such as DOB, family names, and what info you have. Do you have the obits of her brothers and sisters? What info do you have on her after 1937? OR...are you JUST looking for someone knowing her in 1937 in Wenatchee? Since that was 72 years ago, chances are slim someone remembers her.

You "probably" have the below, I didn't and needed it for research purposes.

The 1920 Census for Portland, Multnomah Co, Oregon, living at 4630 63rd Street:
Charles W. Johnston, age 43, born in Iowa to both parents born in Pennsylvania, plumber.
Maude, age 39, born in Oregon
Winifred 13
Imogene 11 (Born circa 1908/1909)
Ralph 9
Mary 9
Benjamin 7
Ethel, age 8/12.
-all children born in Oregon
--Census enumerated 13 January, so Ethel born about April 1919.

I find two family trees on Ancestry.com with Imogene that matches your info AND the census data on this family. Identified the link in the event you have Ancestry.com, if not possibly thru your local library.

since you have anonymous address on Rootsweb, I can't know if this is you or someone else; thus, I did not send a message to theis person. This tree showed:
Imogene Arlete Johnston, born 3 May 1908 in Portland, married Milo D. Gibson (1904-30 August 1974). Imogene died 27 Feb 1975. No children identified.

Basic the same as above.

If you are not either of the above, either may or may not have information.
