Arlene Grace Carstensen was born on the farm northwest. of Wall, South Dakota, on March 15, 1918 the daughter of Emil and Grace (Johnston) Carstensen. When she was nine months old her mother developed the flu with many others of that era and died. Consequently, Arlene was taken to Fremont, Nebraska to be raised by her grandmother Alvina and grandfather John Carstensen.
She attended school in Fremont and met Wayne Garrison in high school. In 1935 during the depression her grandfather said, "If you kids want to get married
you can go to my farm in South Dakota and try farming." So they married
March 18, 1935 and moved to the farm where they spent the next sixty-seven years.
Arlene loved to garden and found it a necessity in order to feed her family. She was a real partner to Wayne and often drove the truck during combining or helped stack hay. In October 1936 their son Dennis was born to Arlene and Wayne. She took Dennis with her as she helped her husband. In August 1941 their daughter Ann was born and now she had two to take with her. She was always on the lookout for rattlesnakes and carried a shovel and rake to take care of them. She was an avid reader and always had music in her home.
Wayne and Arlene often took in strangers that were in need. When Wayne would take a farm vehicle to town for repairs he would often talk to a tourist in distress and the next thing he took them home for a meal and often an overnight stay until their vehicle was repaired.
Arlene’s favorite song was "Sentimental Journey". The past two months she has wanted to take that journey and Sunday, January 18th she got her way. She is now with her best friend and the Lord.
God Bless a wonderful mother and grandmother.
