Died Wednesday January 20, 2016 at the Good Samaritan Center in Scribner.
Arlene was born May 17, 1920 near Scribner to Herman and Minnie 'Kottman' Meyer. She was baptized at St. John's Lutheran Church, Cuming County Line. She was raised on the family farm east of Scribner, attended District #35 school, and confirmed at St. Paul's Lutheran Church north of Hooper. Arlene worked as a 'hired girl' for several families. She married LaVere Dierking on January 21, 1945 at St. Paul's Lutheran Church, this year would have been their 71st wedding anniversary. After their marriage they lived on Roy Bott's farm by District #18 school, and then moved to George Osterloh's farm, which is now the Flores farm north of Hooper, near St. Paul's Church. In 1951, LaVere and Arlene purchased and began farming the current family farm east of Scribner. Arlene was a homemaker and actively involved in the farming operation. Raising chickens (her 'Livestock') and selling eggs was one of her contributions to the farm. In 1972 LaVere and Arlene moved into Scribner. She continued to help on the farm whenever possible, painting buildings and 'walking' beans.
Arlene was a member of St. Paul's Lutheran Church Women (LCW) and helped with many church projects. She was a member of the Extension Club for many years. She enjoyed playing cards with friends and family, and traveling. She spent hours sewing and hand quilting many quilts as well as helping the quilting ladies at church. She was loved by her entire family. She recently was a resident of the Good Samaritan Center in Scribner.
