Arlene was born November 12, 1932, in Provo, UT. She was the oldest of three children born to Donald Bryant Colby & Benita Barber Colby. Arlene was born into a musical family, and music would always play an important part of Arlene's life. She enjoyed playing the piano and singing.

She married John Sterling Davis on January 6, 1956. They were the parents of six children which included a set of twins. Arlene was a caring and busy mom. John & Arlene later divorced.

Arlene married Charles Donald Kuehn on February 27, 1981. They were close companions until his death on April 28, 2002.

Arlene was then married to Eugene Burton Hecker on September 17, 2005, and later sealed for Time and All Eternity in the Jordan River Temple. They served each other lovingly until her death this week.

Arlene loved to knit for her entire life. She donated her baby blankets and scarves to anyone who needed a warm hug.

She was an active member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints and held many callings, including Ward Chorister, which she loved.
