Arlene was born April 21, 1928, to John and Edith Hollister in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. She married Howard Moss on May 8, 1948, in Cedar Rapids. Arlene worked as an inspector at Rockwell Collins for 20 years before retiring in 1984. After that she worked with Hospice of Mercy as a CNA for 18 years. After retiring from Hospice of Mercy, she volunteered on Sundays at the Oldorf Hospice House of Mercy in Hiawatha.

During her free time she loved to do crossword puzzles, word searches, solitaire, needle point and golf. No matter what sport was in season she always rooted for the "under dogs." Most of all, Arlene loved to spend time with her family.
