September 4, 1930 - March 22, 2017

Arlene M. Nielson, age 86, of Newell, Iowa, died on Wednesday, March 22, 2017, at the Good Samaritan Society in Newell.

Arlene Marie Brummer, a daughter of Walter and Minnie (Bockhop) Brummer, was born on September 4, 1930, in Storm Lake, Iowa. Subsequently, baptized and confirmed, she attended school in Storm Lake, graduating from Storm Lake High School. Then, on June 4, 1949, she married Leonard Dean Nielson in rural Newell. In time, they were blessed with four children: Lynn, Gloria, Sandra, and David.

Arlene was a member of the United Church of Christ in Newell until it closed. She, also, participated in the Ladies Aid Society.

Arlene enjoyed staying home to raise her family. After the children had grown, she began working as a CNA at the Newell Good Samaritan Society and the Buena Vista Manor in Storm Lake.

In her free moments, Arlene found sewing and reading relaxing. She, also, liked the yearly family vacations. Most of all, however, she enjoyed interacting with her family. A loving mother, grandmother, great grandmother, and friend, she will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved her.

Those left to cherish her memory include her children: Lynn Linke, of Storm Lake, Iowa, Gloria (Steven) Frehse, of Spencer, Iowa, Sandra (Raymond) Krell, of St. Charles, Missouri, and David Nielson, of Storm Lake, Iowa; her grandchildren: Ajay (Stacie) Linke, of Alta, Iowa, Jill (Keith) of Newell, Iowa, Brandon (Karla) Frehse, of Everly, Iowa, Branae (Seth) Robb, of Spencer, Iowa, Brooke (Brent) Appleby, of Cherokee, Iowa, Brance Frehse, of Milford, Iowa, Caprina Wakefield, of Defiance, Missouri, Nathan Alexander, of St. Charles, Missouri, Megan Nielson, of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and Dana Nielson, of Storm Lake, Iowa; twenty great grandchildren; and her sister, Renee Bladon, of Bella Vista, Arkansas; as well as extended family members and friends.

Arlene was preceded in death by her parents, Walter and Minnie Brummer; her husband, Leonard, on March 3, 2016; an infant sister; and her great grandson, Zailin Linke.
