She inspired us all to take the day we have and find the beauty within it. She brought to us strength for coping and managing in the most difficult times and desperate situations. Her gifts were as unique as the person she was and always they were bundled in love and care. Arlene was born in Lestock and grew up north of Punichy, a small rural community in Saskatchewan. She loved the peaceful quiet of growing up on the farm. When she was 7, her family moved to a farm at Cupar, Saskatchewan. With the loss of her mother, nine-year-old Arlene took on the kitchen and household duties of running the home. Even with these early responsibilities, she was able to foster lasting friendships and truly enjoy each day. She graduated in 1973 and trained as a Radiation Therapy Technician for the treatment of cancer patients in Regina, Sask. Arlene was an excellent clinician and truly cared for each individual she served. This is when she first met Greg and they traveled the world, sharing friendship, love and laughter. Over this period, Arlene held supervisory positions at cancer clinics in Regina, Saskatoon and Calgary. Her success was borne from the care and love of people. In 1988 she married Greg Lingelbach, and they moved to Calgary where their first child Dana was born. In 1992 her family moved to Fort McMurray where her son Mark was born. She loved her family, and life now revolved around them. Her Christian strength was growing by the day and she made many strong and lasting friendships. In 1993, Arlene was diagnosed with breast cancer and began aggressive chemotherapy treatments. Her church family of Christ the King rallied and soaked her in prayer with results that amazed the medical profession. Her faith in God and sheer will to raise her family gave her the strength to endure numerous setbacks over nine years. During this trial, Arlene shared God's love with many and arranged prayer for others. Although she did not get to hold her grandchildren, she set a solid foundation for her children in Christ, one that will sustain them their whole lives through and enable them to share the faith with their children.
