LUSK – Evelyn Arlene Garhart Arends was born Jan. 10, 1937, to Vern and Evelyn Garhart in Douglas and was called home to be with our Lord on April 16, 2020.
Arlene was preceded in death by her husband of 31 years, Vernell Marcel Arends, her parents; sisters, Nila, Joann, Carol and Marcia. She is survived by her sister, Verna Pfister Hawley, her three children: son Vernell Arends (Mari) of Douglas; daughter LaVonne Skrukrud (Todd) of Lusk; son Douglas Arends of North Dakota; foster son Marion Bergheger of Lusk; grandchildren Brandon Arends of Douglas; Brianna Pexton (Jordan) of Douglas, Kiffani Skrukrud of Lusk, Kaci Jo Skrukrud of Casper, Joseph Arends of North Dakota, Jecelyn Arends of North Dakota, and Kaleb Arends of North Dakota; three great-grandchildren, and many nieces and nephews.
Arlene was born in Douglas, as it was the nearest hospital to Lance Creek, where her older sister waited at home for her. She lived in Lance Creek until the family moved to Manville during her grade school days. She graduated Manville High School and shortly after moved to Denver, Colo.
She met the love of her life, Vern Arends, at a Rocky Bilt Restaurant where she worked as a waitress. They were married on Feb. 5, 1959. They had three children: Vernell, LaVonne and Doug. Marion joined the family in 1968.
Vern and Arlene had many journeys together. The last one, leading them back to Wyoming. After Arlene’s husband passed away, in 1990, she moved from Casper to Lusk to make her home.
