Arlene was passionate about many things, her family not being the least. Growing up on a farm she learned many skills that she carried through her life. Summers spent picking and canning fruit led into the fall for hunting. Arlene was known for her sewing, her cooking, and her hospitality. Arlene and Henry (Hank) created an atmosphere at The Cherry Tree that will forever be in our hearts and our memories.
