Arlene was born on August 11, 1936 in St. Paul, MN. She was a dedicated and loving wife, mother, and grandmother who touched the lives of many with her kindness, generosity, and unwavering Christian faith. She had many interests and passions including family, friends, skating, golf, tennis, Mahjong and bible study. Arlene’s greatest impact was through her strong Christian faith and connection in the church. She participated in many areas of ministry, including praying for over 200 youth by name daily for the past several years.

Arlene was a pillar of strength and love for her family and touched the lives of many people throughout her life. She is already greatly missed.
