She enjoyed going for walks, drinking her coffee, watching the polka dancing on TV and also watching Wrestling on Monday nights (telling Dale to go in the other room). She would go with Amber on Wednesday night for soup and sandwiches at Church. Areleen and Dale enjoyed their many trips to the casino, and they would play Yahtzee with Amber and Areleen would "Always" win. Areleen enjoyed spending time with her girlfriends, especially Veronica and Joanne, even going on a bus trip to Branson. Morning trips to Caribou with Amber on the way to school were a must. Areleen loved her Dachshunds and her cats. (even Dana's dog Lexi would give kisses to Areleen and she would always try to steal Lexi every time she came over). Areleen is survived by loving husband, Dale; daughter, Kathy; granddaughter, Amber; great-grandson, Connor; along with many family and friends near and far.
