By faith she was a prayer warrior, intercessor and along with her beloved friend, Marguerite Gunnel, visited countless people over the years. By profession, Arlene had been a Social Worker at Downey Veteran’s Hospital in Illinois and a State Hospital in Missouri. Upon moving to Sidney, she became an L.D. tutor with the Sidney Schools where she had a positive influence on her many students.

Her family would like to thank the staff of Lane Park for their excellent and compassionate care of their beloved mother. They also wish to thank Heartland Hospice and Wilson Hospice for their care.

She was so much loved by all who knew her and will be sorely missed, and in her own words, “Hasta La Vista.”
