Madeline Flora (De Neve) Arens was born on a farm west of Victor, Iowa, on December 4, 1923, the daughter of Edward De Neve and Cordula (Hudders) De Neve. She walked to country school near Victor until the seventh grade, spent eighth grade at Sacred Heart School in Moline, Illinois, then returned to and graduated from St. John's Catholic School in Victor in 1941. Madeline married Rene Henry Arens on August 30, 1941, at St. Bridget's Catholic Church in Victor. They lived in Moline, Illinois, until the spring of 1942 when they moved to a farm southeast of Belle Plaine, where they farmed and raised a family. In 1996 she and Rene built a new home and moved to Belle Plaine, where they enjoyed many memorable family gatherings. In 2017 Madeline moved to Colonial Manor in Amana, Iowa. Madeline devoted herself to her faith and her family, welcomed many nieces, nephews, cousins, and grandchildren to the farm, and loved traveling with Rene. Highlights of her travels were seeing her father's birthplace in St. Laureins, Belgium, her mother's childhood home in Maldegem, Belgium, and visiting Germany with her children and their spouses. She also enjoyed playing cards, reading, knitting and crocheting, gardening, dancing, shopping, going to the casino, pizza, and just visiting over a cup of coffee. Madeline was a member of St. Michael's Catholic Church where she taught religious education. In past years she was a member of The Friendly Neighbor Club, BP Library Book Club, Red Hat Club, and Belle Plaine Circulators Square Dance Club. She was especially mindful of sending anniversary, birthday, holiday, and condolence cards to friends and relatives. She is survived by her children, Edward of Palo, James (Cindy) of Amana and Belle Plaine, Joyce (Steve) Russell of Evansdale, Jean (Thomas) Sippy of Swisher and Janet (Larry) Balvin of Chelsea; grandchildren, Paula (Mark) Swenson, Angie (Derek) Walton, Dan Arens, Julie Bashara, Matthew Russell, Colleen Baker (Mike) Hallemann, Patrick (Morgana), Rachel (Chad Ward) and Grace (Wyatt Brenneman) Sippy, Sarah (Roy) Silhanek and Brian (Danielle) Balvin; and great-grandchildren. She was preceded in death by her parents; husband, Rene in 2005; siblings, Raymond, Herman, Frederick, Alice Waline, Margaret Berscheid, and Helen Burns; two grandchildren, Scott and Penny Arens; and granddaughter-in-law, Dena Arens. Madeline's best advice was "Take things as they come, and then do the best you can." She, her hugs, and her smile will be dearly missed. Mass of Christian Burial at St. Micheal's Catholic Church, Belle Plaine celebrated by Fr. Dennis Conway and assisted by Deacon Joe Behounek. Burial in Oak Hill Cemetery, Belle Plaine. Hrabak-Neuhaus Funeral Service of Belle Plaine, Iowa.
