Arleen Ringle Evjue was born on May 11, 1925, in Wausau WI to Leander and Adele Ringle. She passed away on Tuesday September 26, 2023, at Rennes Health and Rehab in Wausau. There was nothing more important to Arleen than her children, grandchildren, great grandchildren and many dogs. There was never an animal she didn't love. 

Arleen was a lifetime member of St. Paul's United Church of Christ in Wausau, WI. She was proud of being a member of St Paul's UCC and was an organist there for over thirty-five years. She was very active in the church and served on many committees as well as directing the Youth and Adult Choirs. 

Arleen graduated from the University of Wisconsin-Madison with a degree in Occupational Therapy. She worked for many years at Marathon County Health Care Center. 

After college, she married Douglas Evjue and lived in Madison before moving back to Wausau. They had four children, Thomas (Stephanie) Evjue, Robert (Karen) Evjue, Lynn (Fredrick) Cupelli and Catherine (Lynn M.) Taschler. 

Arleen was preceded in death by her parents Leander and Adele Ringle, brothers Carl Berger and Ray Ringle, her son Robert Evjue, daughters in law Stephanie and Karen Evjue as well as her former husband, Douglas Evjue. 

Arleen is survived by her son Thomas and her two daughters Lynn and Cathy, grandchildren Beth (Josh) Peterson, Robert (Michelle) Evjue, John (Christy) Evjue, Xandy (Mark Roeder) Lehmann, Ralph (Sheena) Cupelli, Joel Cupelli, Anne (Monica) Cupelli, Andrew Taschler, Katie (Adam) Hall and Laurie (Alex) Garske.
