As a young woman, Arletta worked for her father at Landin Motor Co., and later on in life began working for the Gillett School District for many years.
Arletta also belonged to the VFW and other organizations such as the St. John’s Christian Women’s Society. She had many hobbies and passions like bowling, traveling, feeding the birds and tending to her beautiful home, yard and flowers. She also enjoyed her card games, one of her favorites being a game called “Smear” for a quarter a game and a dime a bump! Most importantly Arletta thoroughly enjoyed spending time with her family, dogs and grand-dogs at the cottage in Townsend.
