Arleta Mae (VanAmburg) Reddin, formerly of Portland, passed away in Leesburg,

her 82nd birthday.

Arleta was born at the home of her parents in Lansing March 16, 1928. She was

celebrated their 60th anniversary last summer. On their 50th anniversary they 
spent three months on an enjoyable tour of Alaska.

She was an avid gardener and took Best-in-Show with her roses and lilies at the 
Eaton County Fair. Arleta and Bob carried her pots of pineapple plants all over 
the country in their fifth wheel and she enjoyed giving them as gifts to her 
friends and family. They traveled throughout the southwest in their motor home 
and had fun camping on the Navaho Reservation. Arleta and her family traveled 
through most all of the United States and went on cruises whenever she could. 
She and Bob traveled extensively in Europe and brought home antiques from the 
places they visited. Arleta liked to watch birds and animals wherever they 
traveled. She enjoyed watching roadrunners and collected items with roadrunner 
motif. She also collected items antique dishes and figurines.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Clarence and Clela VanAmburg, and son-
in-law, Allan Luttig.

Surviving is her loving husband, Robert Theodore Reddin; daughter, Pamela 
Reddin Luttig; and son, Kenneth Robert Reddin. She also leaves behind

and her good friend, Carolyn Cross.

Arleta Reddin’s ashes will be interred at the North Eagle Cemetery at a later 
date. There will be a memorial service that will be announced in the paper.

We would like all who read this to remember that Arleta was a considerate 
person who was devoted to her husband,, family and friends, and she will be 
missed so very much by all who knew and loved her.
