Arlene Jane Bettin was born April 18, 1946, to Ervin Chester and Alfa Ida (Lenz) Lind in Parkers Prairie. She grew up in Parkers Prairie, attended public school and graduated from Parkers Prairie High School in 1964. She was united in marriage to Frank Henry Bettin February 5, 1966, at Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Urbank. Following their marriage they lived in the Twin Cities where she worked as a printer. They returned to Parkers Prairie in 1970, where she and her husband owned Frank's Quick Stop. She worked as a printer in Alexandria before taking time off work to raise her family. She was an integral staff member in the set-up of the Alexandria Wal-Mart store where she worked until her early retirement due to disability. Following her retirement, she enjoyed being at home. She was diagnosed with cancer in January of 2009, and was able to stay in her home because of the love and care of her family. She was a member of St. Williams Catholic Church and its Christian Mothers. She loved spending time with family and friends, especially Tuesdays as it was "girl's night". She was an avid Vikings and Twins fan. She enjoyed watching movies, playing cards, sewing, traveling, and spending time at the family cabin. Her grandchildren were her pride and joy.
