Arba will be lovingly remembered by her husband of 61 years, Mylo (Hess) and daughters Cassie (Dennis) Krall and Talle (Joe) Koncilja both of Pueblo, Colorado.

Arba was active in the Akaska Community where she participated in the Good Cheer Club, the Diamond Jubilee and promoted the newly built Akaska Community Center. She was instrumental in starting the annual Oktoberfest which she and Mylo brought to the community several years ago. Arba was a member of the Selby UCC where she taught Sunday School, and was a member of the Ladies Aid. She enjoyed belonging to the Red Hatter's Society and in her younger years she was a member of the Selby Jaycettes. ArbaDella and Mylo enjoyed over 25 years traveling to Texas and Arizona as "snowbirds." They were charter members of the Selby Weekend Loafer's camping group. Arba was involved in every arts and crafts project from macrame to cross-stitch and shared her artistic talents in the later years through painting personalized cards and decorating birdhouses built by Mylo. Arba and Hess traveled extensively in their motorhome and loved to entertain their many friends in Arizona and Akaska. She was known for her amazing cooking, German baking, wonderful sense of friendship and love of small dogs. Hess and Arba loved walleye fishing on Lake Oahe with their good friend Chad Schilling. Arba found great enjoyment watching the Golden State Warriors Basketball team, and held a special fondness for the Lakers' Kobe Bryant. For the past two years Arba shared a room at the Selby Good Samaritan Center with her sister Priscilla. Hess and Ervin will miss the countless dominoes games which Arba usually won. Hess and the girls would like to thank the wonderful staff for their loving care.

ArbaDella Doreen Huber

Mother & Grandmother

A million times we thought of you, A million times we cried,

If love alone could have saved you, You never would have died.

In life we loved you dearly, In death we love you still.

In our hearts you hold a place No one could ever fill.

It broke our hearts to lose you. But you didn’t go alone.

For part of us went with you The day God took you home.
