From Superior Telegram:
On Saturday, Nov. 8, 2008, with loving family at her side, we lost our loving mother, Arlene Houle, after a courageous battle with cancer.
She was born in Ashland on April 13, 1935, to Hilja and John Biolo. She was raised and grew up in Herbster. On June 4, 1953, she married LeRoy Houle in Superior. They spent 32 years together and had 12 children. She enjoyed spending time with her family, especially at our yearly summer picnic and Christmas party. She always looked forward to being with her lady friends to play bunko and cribbage. She would even sign-up and play in cribbage tournaments. Win or lose she always had a great time.
She touched many lives and she will be greatly missed, but we can rest assure knowing that she is now one of Gods angels looking down on us.
