She served faithfully in the Jordan River Temple for many years, as well as in many other church callings.

I remember Arlene Ashby from a long time ago, in the Sandy 6th Ward. (I think) which would have been in late 60's and early 70's. She was always friendly and my mom, Erma Adams, especially thought the world of her.
My condolences to her family.
