Arlene was born April 26, 1932, in Warroad, Minnesota, the daughter of Lawrence and Jessie (Johnson) Hastings. She attended Jabbock Bible School in Enid, Oklahoma and North High School until 1948, when she got her GED. Arlene worked for Massey Harris, where she met and briefly dated George Stang.

On September 14, 1956, she married Raymond Kappelman. They had one daughter, Ramona. They were divorced in 1968. On August 10, 1972, she married George Stang, in Des Moines. After their marriage, they lived in Osage, where Arlene worked with George at his business, Stang Farm Supply. Arlene was raised in the Brethren in Christ Church and co-founded the Faith Temple Church, now known as New Covenant Fellowship Church, in Osage.

She was a current member of the Gospel Lighthouse Church in Floyd where she was very involved and well-loved. Arlene was also a member of the Daughters of the American Revolution. She loved to sing and play the piano and especially loved worship and gospel music.

She also loved shopping, eating out, giving generous gifts, and road trips. Arlene loved to laugh and had a great sense of humor. After she lost much of her speech to a stroke in 1998, she and her daughter mostly just laughed together.

Arlene is survived by her daughter, Ramona (Kappelman) Kline (husband, James) of White Salmon, Washington; her grandson, Benjamin Kline (wife, Renah) and children, Esther, Simeon, Asher and unborn baby, Judah; her granddaughter, Nicole Kline (husband, Ryan) and children, Taylor and Tyler; her grandson, Joshua Kline (Tiiahna Dupree) and daughter, Isabelle; and her grandson, Paul Kline; sister, Rita Oline of Des Moines; and brother, Paul Hastings of Coon Rapids, Minnesota.

She was preceded in death by her parents; her husband, George Stang in 2011; granddaughter, Christina Kline; and sister, Rose Adams.
