Arlene was born and raised around the Norwalk/Martensdale, Iowa area. She married her childhood sweetheart and best friend Orval Hakes in 1942. She and Orval could be found through the years playing duplicate and tournament bridge. Both achieved "Life Master" status. She was a member of the Willow Creek Baptist Church. Arlene retired from Allied Mutual Insurance Company (Nationwide) after twelve years of service. Her greatest joy came from her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren, always keeping in close contact with each one. She was the family prayer warrior. She will be lovingly missed by her husband of 67 years, Orval, and their three children: Sandra (Jerry) Christian of Story City, Becky (John) Parker of Adel, and Dennis (Tonya) Hakes of Muscatine.
