Arlene graduated from Janesville High School in 1946. After a brief stint in accounting at General Motors, she married the love of her life Richard Schlueter on September 30, 1950. They farmed together until her husband opened Schlueter Floral Company which they operated together for many years. Together they had four children. Arlene loved being a wife and a mother.

Arlene was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Richard. She recently asked God if it would be OK for her husband to walk her to the gates of heaven when she died.

She is survived by her daughter Stephanie; granddaughter-in-law, Erin (Schlueter); daughter-in-law, Patti (Smith); grandson, Jason Schlueter; great-grandchildren, Dalton, Mason, and Apple; and niece, Diane Hurley.
