Arlene was one of my instructors at UND-W and was my favorite. She was hilarious, interesting, intelligent, caring and one-of-a-kind! After graduating, I kept in touch with Arlene and would see her and Harold here and there. Arlene will be missed by everyone that knew her!

Oh sweet Arlene, I was so sad when I read of your passing. Remembering all the fiun nights in your basement doing ceramics and laughing with you and Harold. You were so kind to us all and an incredible teacher. Such talent and patience.
You were a friend of my parents growing up and it was an honor to interact with you after growing up and moving to Williston from Wildrose.
May memories of your mother bring all of her family peace at this difficult time. She was a special lady.
Rest in peace Arlene.

Sympathy to your family. Arlene was Owens teacher at Rainbow school. He talked of all the good times they had as she stayed with his folks during the week. They played lots of pinochle after school.I got to know her taking ceramics. Her and Harold visited many times. She was always full of smiles.. God Bless Her Memory!

Tvedt family:
As some people journey through life, they leave footprints wherever they go- of kindness and love, courage and compassion, humor and inspiration, joy and faith. Even when they are no longer present, we can still look back and see the trail they left behind- a trail bright with hope that invites us to follow.
Praying you all will be comforted with precious memories and God's presence.
Psalm 89: 15 " Blessed are those who...walk in the light of Your Presence. "
I have many fond memories of Arlene. With deepest sympathy.

So sorry to hear about Arlene’s passing. She was quite the woman, never had to wonder what was on her mind! I remember going to the ceramic shop as a kid with my mom (Marlene Gravgaard) to see Harold and Arlene. Cherish the memories.

My thoughts and prayers are with Arlene’s family. Arlene was my professor when I attended UND-Williston. She was tough and strict but I have fond memories of her. After I moved to Williston and many years later, Harold and Arlene would drive by and admire my lawn and flowers. If I was outside, they would always stop and offer kind words.

I got to know Arlene when she taught a young man I cared for, Chesney. We visited every day for 5 plus years. She loved telling stories of growing up on the farm and how the family(s) worked together on some of the basic chores like laundry and ironing. She was a wonderful story teller. Our lives were blessed by her. She has earned her wings! My condolences.

My condolences to the family. I have not seen Arlene for many years but they use to help out with harvest on the farm when I was young. Many midnight suppers with them. Harold and Arlene were a lot of fun and probably the hardest working couple I have ever met.

Our tribute to a true pioneer Arlene was an inspiration to many! always facing new challenges and tragedies with a remarkable attitude. Lynn and I along with your family bless her with the legacy she left us and that legacy is how to handle everything thrown at you with grace and compassion while maintaining your faith in God Almighty, always looking for the good in people. I'm not sure but the coffee futures market will close lower as a result of your passing! We are much better people having known you! Love Bob and Lynn

Sending hugs and condolences for the Tvedt families. As a child I grew up in the neighborhood and graduated with Kory. I remember Arlene's yard was always beautiful and neat as a pin. And as youngsters got yelled at for stealing an apple or 2 and possibly stepping on the lawn. Keep Arlene's memories alive and may she rest in peace. I'm sure she is delegating Duties up there already. RIP

Many fond memories of square dancing with Harold & Arlene all around the state! Tom & I stayed with them in their motor home the first year we went to Hostfest! We danced in the concert halls all day and went back in the evening for more dancing. Great times with great people! With our sympathy, C'Dale & Phil

Our thoughts and prayers go out to the Tvedt family at the passing of Arlene. She and her husband Harold were wonderful people. I still remember the two of them coming over to my parents house at 10:00 p.m. for a regular visit and coffee! They were good family friends!

Love and prayers to Arlene's family during this difficult time. I will forever miss Arlene and have many fond memories. Especially when she taught the art class I was in at Trinity Christian School. I still have the ceramic poodle I painted and the glazed bowl she showed us how to make and glaze. She was a wonderful lady full of love and life.

Zoanni & family,
I remember your mom's ceramic shop and when she was at Trinity. My children loved her. She was a good Christian woman. I know she'll be missed by all that knew her, but she's in heaven with her Lord & savior and all of those that have gone on before her. There was a huge celebration in heaven when she arrived and someday we will be reunited with our loved ones.

I just realized Arlene went to heaven. She was such an incredible, beautiful sweet lady. She was my son's art teacher and saw her often at Trinity . She was such a beautiful, positive light. All the kids adored her. Such a talented woman as well. Zoanni you look just like her. I never realized how much till I saw the pictures. My deepest sympathy to all of you. She touched the lives of so many. An incredible woman.... Hugs to all... Leone Heller
