Arlene ZumMallen was born Jan. 21, 1933, in Fairmont.

She entered into the arms of her Savior on Dec. 13, 2022.
 

Arlene was baptized at Zion Lutheran Church in Fairmont and gave her Confi rmation of Faith at Zion as well on March 30, 1947.

Her confirmation verse is Luke 11:28: “Blessed are they that hear the Word of God and keep it.”

Arlene was raised on the farm several miles east of Fairmont. With many brothers and sisters, work was the order of the day.
 

Arlene attended school in Fairmont and Garber.

She met the love of her life, Arnold ZumMallen, where many Oklahoma Lutherans gathered back in the day, at Camp Lutherhoma near Tahlequah.

Arnold and Arlene were married on May 10, 1953, at Zion Lutheran Church in Fairmont.

Life on the farm east of Okarche would become home for the next 70 years.

She was a homemaker, farmer’s wife, child taxi service provider and helped milk the cows for 25 years.

Where the sun really shined was in the kitchen. No one went hungry at Grandma’s house.

Arnold and Arlene were blessed with five children: Joan Murken and husband Mike of New Braunfels, Texas; Brenda Baustert and husband Ron of Okarche; Kathy Klade and husband Rev. Jeff of Okarche; Warren Zummallen; and Ben Zum-Mallen and wife Elizabeth of Pfafftown, N.C.

Worth, Texas; Thomas Klade of Okarche; and Sam ZumMallen, James ZumMallen, and Adelyn ZumMallen of Pfafftown, N.C. There are also 12 great-grandchildren.
 

She was preceded in death by her parents, Henry and Carolena Nobis; son Warren ZumMallen; brothers Elmer, Marvin, Harold, Raymond, Leonard and Roland Nobis; sisters Esther Nobis Loesch and Bernice Nobis Fischaber.


She is survived by her husband, Arnold ZumMallen, and brother Donald Nobis and her four children.
