Arlene Lillian Zehnder Dennison

I was able to be at her service, thanks to Karl and the Turankis dear dear people and friends. Truly a beam of Gods light through into the world. I just discovered this page. Like many of you, Arlene was truly part of the spirit´s work along my rather into searching for the grand truth the Lord has finally granted be. So I agree with all these 19 comments about her. She was always so good to me and listened. So yes she is still with us partially in light and love. Help. I talked...

It´s 2024, and I just found this! I was assistant to Karl In Eugene, Oregon, and babysat Brad when he was just a baby. Arlene was so careful with what she fed her baby, and I vividly remember her homemade yogurt! Karl, In an attempt to help me grow out of my immaturity, preached several sermons on proverbs which I was forced to transcribe! It changed my life completely! I wish I had had an opportunity to thank them for allowing me to be part of their spectacular lives. I look forward to that...

As Crusade staff newlyweds coming to Kansas University in '67, we remember Arlene being such a loving, kind, and supportive wife to Karl. She was a gracious hostess to our Staff team and gave me (Pat) an excellent model in being a wife. She was always comforting and caring, and in later years in Phoenix kept reaching out to keep our frienship going. We loved her; we will miss her. May the Lord surround you with His wonderful comfort and peace, Karl.

Arlene was a special lady....she loved the Lord and she loved her family. I had the pleasure of spending time with her children Brad, Amber, and Crystal and there were many fun times to be had in the house in Eugene, OR. I remember the big garden Karl had and the piano in the living room. Arlene was patient and she let us dress up in her clothes/shoes and play for hours. There was always lots of jamoca almond fudge ice cream for all..... You will be missed! My prayers are with all of you....

Although we have not seen her in perhaps 30 years, we shall always remember Arlene's gentle smile, reserved but not shy or needy. Arlene supported Karl with her quiet behind the scenes faithfulness. To lose such a life partner~ solid, reliable and dependable best friend and confidant has to leave you feeling a great void and loss of not just a 1st mate, but more like the loss of either a mast or a keel or even an anchor, as you are left to cope, continuing your life's voyage toward the Home...

Dear Karl and Family,
We have wonderful memories of Arlene and her love for her family and friends. She was a lovely lady, full of enthusiasm and always willing to compliment others. We will miss her smiling face and kind words. Our prayers are with you. Love, Jim & Lois Meyer

Crystal and family,
I remember seeing your mother at school picking up the kids and the class parties and basketball games. She was always such a kind and pleasant lady. I remember when I was going through my own battle with cancer how she would ask how I was doing and give me a hug. What a wonderful woman! She will be missed.

Jim & I remember the sweet little lady Arleen with lots of energy for the Lord Jesus and for others. We look forward to seeing her for eternity with Jesus!

My prayers are with you all during these difficult days but I can rejoice with you that she is with her Lord and Savior. Karl was a high school friend and when he married Arlene she was welcomed with open arms. One could not help but love her. She exemplified a Godly woman with her kindness, concern and love which was demonstrated as a wife, mother and friend. She reached out to people in so many ways. I have been truly blessed to have known her and to have lived close enough to them to...
