Arlie Ray Huston

Arlie Ray Huston passed away August 5, 2024.
He was born on February 26, 1935 to parents Olive and Glen Huston, in Anderson, Indiana, where he lived his entire life. He was the youngest of six children, Lester, Delbert, Mary, Lorne, and Donnie, all who predeceased him.
As a youth he spent many hours at Grandview Golf Course. He attended Anderson High School and was a member of the Indiana State Champion golf teams of 1952 and 1953. He married Shirley (Rosaella) Jones in 1954 and they were married 57 years before her death in 2011. They were blessed with four children.
Arlie began his career as an auto mechanic at the young age of 15. He worked 42 years at the same Chrysler Dealership in Indianapolis before retiring at the age of 70. He enjoyed spending time repairing family and friend’s cars. Arlie was known for his dry sense of humor and his witty comments. He loved photography and will be remembered videotaping many family functions. He loved watching sports on T.V., especially the Colts, Pacers, and Big Ten teams. He and Shirley enjoyed traveling after his retirement. In his final years, he loved to sit on his front porch reading his newspaper, visiting with family, friends, and neighbors, going shopping at Walmart, and eating out at the Golden Corral.
