Her family and friends shares memories of Arby’s always busy hands: quilting, sewing, needlework, crafting, playing the piano, tending to her flowers, picking and shining apples, playing cards, entering information into the computer to compile an extensive online family genealogy which she began in her late eighties, and preparing her legendary German potato salad, muerbeteig, peach preserves, and sweet iced tea. The most precious gifts she made were the individual scrapbooks she created for each of her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren (23 books total) documenting their lives and accomplishments in addition to other scrapbooks filled with memories of numerous travel excursions she enjoyed throughout her life.
