Arlene June Boevers, 92, of Northfield, MN passed away on Sunday, March 7, 2021, at Cannon Valley Suites in the Northfield Retirement Community.
Arlene was born January 21, 1929, to William and Adelaide (Tralle) Hall and was the youngest of nine children. After graduation she worked numerous jobs until 1957 when she began working for Northern States Power (now Xcel Energy), and was employed there until her retirement in 1988.
Arlene married Rueben Boevers in 1971. Despite divorcing in 1994, they remained good friends and continued to frequently attend auctions throughout the area and also enjoyed playing slot machines at Treasure Island. After they each moved into assisted living facilities, Rueben drove from Faribault to Northfield every weekend to visit Arlene.
