She was born and raised in Granite City, Illinois and graduated from high school there. After she and Mike were married, they made their home in the Granite City area and lovingly raised their children. Through the years, Arleen was a devoted homemaker to her husband and family. In 1977, Arleen and Mike moved to Lebanon, Missouri and made their home.
Arleen was raised in the Catholic faith and was an active member of St. Francis DeSales Catholic Church in Lebanon.
During her youth, she enjoyed playing softball and was on a team called “The Amigos”. She was a very talented artist and had painted many landscapes and portraits. She also enjoyed quilting, and liked having a beer upon occasion. Her family was very dear to her and she especially enjoyed spending time with her grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
