Husband of Eunice Allen
Arlow Orville Lindblom, son of Kaia Johanna Lindblom and John Alfred Lindblom, passed away on February 10, 2012, in Orange County,
California. He was born on January 22, 1919, in his parents’ home in
Sheridan County, North Dakota near the town of Butte.
Arlow is
survived by his wife Eunice Allen Lindblom, his three children, Lee
Arlow Lindblom (Janet), Judy Marie Lindblom (Joni), and Carl Heber
Lindblom (Ana). Arlow is also survived by four grandchildren: Allisan
Looman, Jana Lindblom, Erik Lindblom, and Shane Lindblom; and by three
great-grandchildren: Sadie Looman, Adam Looman, and Emily Lindblom.
Arlow served in the US Army as a Tank Commander during World War II and participated in the invasions of North Africa, Sicily, Italy, and southern France. After the war Arlow returned to the San Francisco area where he met and married Eunice Allen and ran a successful auto repair business. In 1970 he sold his business and moved to Boise, Idaho where his parents were living at the time. Arlow and Eunice
bought a home with a few acres near Boise where they enjoyed raising fruits and vegetables.
In 2002 they moved to St. George, Utah to enjoy warmer weather in the winter. Arlow served for six years on the Board of Directors of their homeowners’ association in St. George, and he loved being involved in neighborhood activities.
He remained very active until a few years ago when health problems slowed him down. He was always optimistic, outgoing, and friendly to everyone he met. He will be missed.
A visitation will be held from 4 – 6 pm on February 17, 2012, and a funeral service at 11 am on February 18, 2012, both at the Cloverdale Funeral Home in Boise, Idaho. Interment will take place at the Terrace Lawn Memorial Gardens following the funeral service.
