As a dear daughter, sister, aunt and friend to all, Arlyce was without exception… sincere, compassionate and giving . She was modest, respected all people and truly appreciated the gifts GOD gives us. She was a joy to be with and had the innate ability to make people happy and laugh. She had made many special friends along the way in life. She had a compassion for people that were going through difficult times in their lives and would send cards, letters, gifts, along with personal visits. She looked forward to trips back to the farm for harvest. Arlyce enjoyed burning ditches in the fall. Her camera always went with her and she has many beautiful pictures of God’s creation in her house. She always cherished her family which included family reunions, weddings, and especially the milestones in the lives of Alysa, Sarah, Chad and Emily.
