Ninna “Arlene” Stevenson

1937 - 2026

Ninna "Arlene" (Hoover) Stevenson was carried home peacefully in the arms of her Savior, Jesus Christ, on Thursday, Jan. 1, 2026, at 3:03 a.m., surrounded by her loving family.
She was born May 20, 1937, to the late Donavan Rupert Hoover and Edna Belle (Pennington) Hoover. Arlene had one brother, Larry "Butch"/"Hawkeye" who also preceded her in death and whose birthday she is celebrating with him in heaven today.
Ninna Arlene married the love of her life, the late Isaiah John "Ike" Stevenson, on Aug. 16, 1955.
Surviving are their three children, Isaiah "Jack" Stevenson Jr. and his wife, Betsy, Kirby Stevenson and his wife, Pam, and Sherri Wood and her husband, David, all of Butler. Arlene, affectionately known as "GG," is survived by six grandchildren, Nicole (Christy) Grottenthaler, Ryan (Shannon) Stevenson, Jenna (Nathaniel) Rhodaberger, Abbey (Conlan) Walsh, Brendon Stevenson and Taylor Stevenson, all of Butler. GG (Great-Grandma) is also survived by 11 great-grandchildren, Lexy and Caleb Grottenthaler, Case and Hadley Stevenson, Simeon, Silas, Miriam and Mara Rhodaberger, and Rachel, Addison and Isaiah Walsh. She is also survived by many special nieces, nephews and relatives.
Arlene was an incredible inspiration to her family and to all who knew her. She greeted everyone with warm a smile. She was both kind and generous with her gifts and talents. Arlene's love language was baking for her family and helping whenever there was a need. Her favorite way to spend her time was with her family, and up until two years ago, watching her great-grandchildren.
Arlene was the manager of Revco Drug Store in Butler and then continued her managerial career with CVS Pharmacies until her retirement. At which time, she continued to work part time at her children's family business, The Home Improvement Center.
There will be a hole in our hearts until we meet you again, but praise God, we know we will see you again!
