    SHERMAN – Arlene H. (Campbell) Huntley, 87, departed this life and entered heaven Nov. 26, 2009, in Patten.

Together they served the Lord in Christian ministry for 59 years in churches, daily vacation Bible schools, and summer Bible camps.

Carlton Huntley, pastored for many years.
    She is survived by her son, Richard C. Huntley, III and his wife, Glenice M. (Hunt) Huntley, of Sherman; grandchildren, Richard C. Huntley IV and wife, Sumita (Pongpaonilsila) Huntley, of Bangor, Tammy J. (Huntley) Huber and husband, Scott, of Dresden, Nathan L. Huntley of Sherman and Travis Stone of Florida; great-grandchildren, Abigail R. Derstine, Kacie M. Huber, Chase R. Huber and Jacob Carlton Huber of Dresden; sisters, Christine P.

Sibley, Fred Clayton Campbell and Neil R. Campbell; and her grandson, Clyde W. Huntley.
