Throughout her career, Arlis made significant contributions to the Casper community, especially through her role at the Casper College Box Office Theater.

It was in these roles that she shared her caring spirit and compassion with others.

Arlis was known for her outstanding culinary skills, always preparing the best dinners, which served as a gathering point for family and friends alike. Her passion for the holidays, along with her love for going to the movies, created lasting memories for her family, punctuated by her infectious laughter and amazing smile.

In her leisure time, Arlis enjoyed various activities that brought her joy and allowed her to connect with her interests. She found pleasure in couponing, played bridge, often went for walks, and had a particular fondness for getting pretzels at the mall.

Arlis's warmth and love extended deeply to her family. She is survived by her devoted husband, Donald Handeland, her son Corey Handeland, and her daughter Shelly Handeland. Her cherished grandchildren, Sydni Handeland, Chase Handeland, and Abbi Handeland, held a special place in her heart, and she delighted in being a loving and caring grandmother.

She was preceded in death by her son, Michael Handeland, whose memory she carried with her lovingly throughout her life.
