Not sure what to say?

Arlene was a great beautiful lady that made us smile and laugh,she will be missed.

Arlene was a wonderful woman who was very special. We know she will be greatly missed by her friends and family, especially Lindsey. They had a special friendship, but we know Arlene is in Heaven watching over her loved ones now.

Nobody could fix chuck roast and potatoes like Arlene. I enjoyed many, many dinners with the family. She was as tough as they come

In Loving Memory Arlene such a lady and a friend to all will be missed alot

To the family of Arlene Nelson
We missed your Dad when he passed and then your Mom when she moved from Salyer to Eureka.
We miss them still...they where the best neighbors that ever lived in that house next door to us.

I will miss you my dear friend. May you rest in peace. To your family my sincere condolences you are all in my prayers

My memories of your mother go back to the 1950's - after school and summers at the Eureka TravelLodge. Karen was my friend from Jefferson school and church pal from Calvary Lutheran. I was always greeted warmly by Arlene - of course we didn't call her Arlene - she was Mrs. Nelson... I remember her behind the big registration desk and was in awe of her ability to run the office. I just reconnected with Karen after many years and want to express my condelences to her and her entire family....

She lived a good long life and has left behind her family to continue on with her good example. May they all be blessed at this time with comfort and the many memories that she has made with each one of them. My heart goes out to you all at this time and the many long days to come.
