Aunt Arlene


On October 22, 2009 my great Aunt Arlene passed away. She was so amazing. She grew up in Mink Creek, ID. Later marrying John Warburton. Where they were later sealed in the London, England temple. After a long service in the Air Force their family returned back to the family farm in Mink Creek. In the early 90's my parents bought a portion of the family farm. We build a "cabin" or house on the property. I of course have visited her a lot before my parents built the cabin. But since we go up there so much during the year, we have gotten to know her very well. She was very spunky and you always knew she loved you because she always told you. She even took the time to get to know each one of my children. She has 21 grandchildren and 3 great grandchildren. So for her to take the time to get to know my kids really means so much to me. She is a shining example of service. She served so many people in the community. I come from a heritage of service she would tell me. Her dad Hyrum, was the first bishop of the area. Aunt Arlene and my grandma did a lot of baby sitting and helping many families in the area. I hear endless stories about this. It will not be the same going up to the cabin. I will miss her terribly. Love you Auntie Arlene till we meet again.
