CEDAR FALLS - Rodele I. "Rodie" Arildsen, 75, of Cedar Falls, died Thursday, Feb. 16, at the Cedar Valley Hospice Home, Waterloo.

She was born Sept. 21, 1936, in Ackley, daughter of Romaine W. and Adele H. Heitland Catlett. She married Richard L. "Dick" Arildsen September 4, 1955, in Waterloo.

Mrs. Arildsen was a 1954 graduate of West Waterloo High School.

Survived by her husband; two daughters, Susan A. Cook of Cumming, Ga., and Sandra A. Mallory of Avondale Estates, Ga.; three grandchildren, Elena A., Daniel L. and Kate A. Mallory; and three sisters, Rosemary Walters of Webster City, Roxie Davis of Waterloo and Roberta (Duane) Harken of Pleasantville.

Private services will be held at a later date. Dahl-Van Hove Schoof Funeral Home is assisting the family.

A sincere thank you to Cedar Valley Hospice for their compassionate care and support during our family's time of need. Rodie will always be remembered as a totally selfless person who always put the needs and wants of her family and friends before her own. She was an avid Bingo player, book reader, coupon clipper, and enjoyed talking back to the TV during political shows on C-Span. Roses are red, violets are blue, Rodie, you were very special to all of us, and we will never forget you!
