Arloha was of the Lutheran faith. She loved animals, had many cats and dogs as pets throughout her lifetime and enthusiastically supported animal welfare groups. She enjoyed feeding the birds, raccoons, and ducks in her backyard, frequently nursing wounded ducklings back to health. She was an efficient, organized and a proficient typist. As a military wife she was the coordinator extraordinaire, managing multiple moves many times on her own, with a growing family to duty stations in the states, as well as France. It is there she developed a passion for collecting French antiques and had a great talent of finding bargains. One of her frequent hang outs in later years was the Bargain Box. She enjoyed playing the piano, sewing, crafting, being visited by and going out to eat with her children and friends. Arloha possessed the admirable quality of being able to face the challenges of life with optimism, humor, courage, and tenacity. She was loved by all who knew her and will be greatly missed.
