Mildred Arlene Grabner, 88, entered the presence of her Savior, the Lord Jesus, on Monday, Feb. 16, 2009, at her home in New Plymouth.
A public viewing will be held from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 18, 2009, at Haren-Wood Chapel in Payette. Graveside service will be held at 2 p.m. Friday, Feb. 20, 2009, at Parkview Cemetery in New Plymouth, followed by a memorial service at 3 p.m. at Bible Faith Fellowship Church in New Plymouth.
Arlene was born on Sept. 16, 1920, in Crosby, Wyo., to Homer Garfield Johnson and Jessie Estella Van Dusen Johnson. At age 5, she moved with her family to Cottage Grove, Ore. They decided to return to Wyoming in 1927 but made it no further than Emmett, Idaho. The family later settled on a farm in New Plymouth, and she graduated as salutatorian of her high school class in 1937. On Feb. 22, 1939, Arlene married the love of her life, Wayne Elroy Grabner. They were married for 50 years. For a time, the couple worked for Arlene"s brother, Lloyd, as lab technicians. In 1960, she began 25 years of faithful service in the research and development department of Ore-Ida.
Arlene loved to teach Sunday school, sing in the choir, play piano, lead Bible studies and encourage people of all ages to follow the Lord Jesus. She was a faithful prayer warrior. When ill-health confined her mostly to her home, she continued to participate in church services via TV and radio. She delighted in flowers, birds, her faithful cats, poetry and books.
Arlene is preceded in death by her husband; parents; brother, Lloyd Ellis Johnson; and sister, Elsa King Lester.
She is survived by her adopted daughter, Lynne, of Washington; her nephews and nieces, Kay, DeLane and Juni, Arlen, Jerin, Alan, Darrel, Loeta, Janet, and Lila Howard and husband, Glen, who have been her faithful caregivers for 20 years, as well as other special friends and relatives.
Thank you to those who, with loving hands, helped her on her final journey - nieces, Loeta, Rhoda and Heidi Johnson, Lila, and Pathways Hospice personnel. Memorials, in lieu of flowers, may be made to the Gideons or a hospice of your choice.
