They lived in Clio until 1976 when they moved to a cabin they built on the AuSable River near Oscoda. Arlene had a gift of making those around her feel good. People from all walks of life gravitated to her and enjoyed her company, everyone simply adored her. Their home on the AuSable was a continuous flow of friends and family. One of her greatest joys was playing cards and games with her friends, children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren and even great-great-grandchildren. She was on a bowling league for 50 years, bowling a 200 game at 80. She also golfed well into her 80s and enjoyed fishing and hunting.
