Arlys was a part of the VFW Auxiliary. She also volunteered at the free store in Lead. She worked at several places in Deadwood over the years including the parking ramp, Mt Moriah cemetery, Lucky Miners, and the 76 Restaurant.

She is preceded in death by her husband Alvin Janke, son Harold Janke, daughter Jolene Daiker, brother Duane Ness, sister Clarice Ness, and her parents Carl and Lenora Ness.
