Her early years were spent mostly on the farm with her parents in Missouri. She helped her parents on the farm and even rose early to go out delivering milk with her dad. After the birth of her little sister, Shirley, she took over much of her care. She was part of this working farm family until she graduated from Jamesport High School.

Arlene and Dewayne spent many years in the Church of the Nazarene as board members, teachers, and helped build three churches. Arlene moved to Brighton, Colorado to be with her daughter Shelly and became a member of Rocky Mountain Baptist Church in her later years.
Arlene was loved by all who knew her. She was a good and generous woman who loved God, her family, and friends. She was always available for any young person who needed her help, to the extent of having three young men live with them when they needed a place to stay.
