A graduate of North High School in Omaha, Arlene carried with her a spirit of determination and resilience that she imparted to her family and friends.

She leaves behind a legacy of love through her children:, Scott T. Foster (Nancy), Lynn R. Foster, Russel W. Foster (Kay) and Sharon Kay Divin. She was a cherished grandmother to nine grandchildren, including Quinn Foster (Andrea), Reid Foster (Hattie), Grant Foster (Bailey), Mitchell Divin (Lidia), Kylie Divin, Leif Foster, Kyle Wilde (Shyanne), Drew Wilde (Lindsey), and Megan Foster. Additionally, her loving memory will be carried on by her many great-grandchildren.

She will be remembered fondly by those whose lives she enriched, and her legacy of love and kindness will continue to inspire all who knew her.

A memorial service to celebrate Arlene's life will be held on September 9, 2025, at 10:00 AM at Horan & McConaty Funeral Service and Cremation - Southeast Denver/Aurora in Aurora, Colorado.
