She was preceded in death by her husband, Richard George Arling, and her parents. She is survived by her beloved Dog, Steve, her stepdaughters Caryn Arling, Dione (Brown), her grand-children Darling and Evely, and her adopted family Tim and Mary Walter along with her adopted grand-children Ethan and Carson Schiller and Miranda Walter.
