She was marrid to Oscar Dowe Reeder who made no excuses for his lifestyle at the time. He was a practicing alcoholic and between drinking and making a poor living for his family he had no time to bond with his children as we today are aware is so very important. Arlene was too little to remember her passing but the other 3 children no doubt remembered it well.
I am told that she cut Oscar no slack about his drinking and when he would come home clinging to the porch post and calling for her to help him she would say "Oscar, don't you want some more whiskey?'
