I worked with Arlie at Loring for 10 years. She was a wonderful teacher and coworker. I recall a time when she worked on honing her skills for story telling, we were all so impressed by how talented and poised she was at it. Her varied gifts live on through the many lives she touched in her career and lifetime.

LaMonte Audra and Loren, Words are inadequate in describing our sorrow over your loss. Know that we are there for you if you need anything we're right next door.

July 13, 2013

LaMonte, Audra and Loren – I am so sorry for your loss. Arlie was the nicest people I have ever met. I will miss her smiling face as she walked through the neighborhood. I enjoyed when she would stop by and talk, she was always so friendly and uplifting. Just talking to her made me feel better inside. She was definitely a gift from God and I consider myself lucky for having her be a part of my life. She always talked so glowingly of each of you. I will also miss seeing LaMonte and Arlie walking together in the evenings and knowing how madly in love with each other they continued to be through all these years. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you through this difficult time, Sheila, Matt and Tyler

So sorry for your loss! I taught at Loring with Arlie in the 90's until I retired. I was Loren's kindergarten teacher. Arlie was such a warm and inviting person. She always had a big smile on her face! I am so sorry to hear of her passing.

Arlie was my first friend at Loring School in 1999. She was a kind and generous person. She would pick me up from my house in Coon Rapids for workshops, wave to me as she drove by, and was always kind and caring to me when I worked at Loring. I have good memories of her.
May God bless you and your family during this time.
Sincerely, Peggy Gigrich

Hi LaMonte, Audra & Clark, Loren & Ashley,

I can't believe I'm viewing my sister's pictures and obituary. She has a beautiful family and her life was very fruitful and full of friends and family. She blessed us all with her loving presence in our lives. I will miss her even more as the reality continues to set in. Arlie will be waiting for us in heaven and I believe she will be watching from above as she will still be with us in our hearts. It's wonderful to know life is more than what's on this earth and that it is eternal in heaven to believers in Christ. Love to you all...Aunt Jan
