Arla Leone Squires

Arlagene Leone Squires was a lady who couldn't be described in just a few words.

Born on April 26, 1943 in Washington D.C. to a father who was a doctor and a mother who was a nurse, both missionaries that went where they were needed, which meant she was off on her first adventure at the early age of 3.

Her adventures took her all over the world, to places like Africa, France, and Australia, finally settling in America for good.

Living in sunny Southern California where she had two beautiful girls, Tonita and Tami, and later went on to have two wonderful granddaughters, Mara and Stella.


Arla wanted to be remembered for her wit, sarcasm, and her joie de vivre. She had an easy going nature that made her a great friend to have, her loyalty and love of people and animals made her loved by all. For anyone who had the pleasure of knowing her knew that she was always happy and positive, but had a distaste for exercising, with the exception of bike rides. She lived a good and full life and will always be remembered for her inner and outer beauty as both were radiant.
