Arlene worked various retail jobs throughout her career but found great joy in serving others and often commented on, "the need to be busy". In her spare time, Arlene enjoyed working on embroidery and crocheting projects. She was competitive when it came to playing cards and always had a positive attitude. Arlene and Jeff loved adventure and traveling throughout the United States, especially the western states. In their younger years, they looked forward to hunting and shopping trips to northern Minnesota and an occasional stop at the casino.
Left to cherish her memory are her sisters, Carol (Steven) Hatch of Apple Valley, MN and Sharon "Shari" (Mark) Eichten of Mesa, AZ; a nephew, Wade (Shannon) Hatch and their 3 sons; special friend, Sheri Stromberg; as well as many other extended family and friends.
Arlene was preceded in death by her parents, Harry and Doreen Campbell; and her husband, Jeff Tonne.
