Arlene Joan Bergland Anderson Feight, 90, of St. Louis Park, Minnesota passed away on September 30, 2025 at Methodist Hospital surrounded by her beloved family. Arlene was born on November 1, 1934 in Hawley, MN, the daughter of Ernest and Eveleth (Jore) Bergland. She graduated from Hawley High School in 1952. She married Virgil D. Anderson in 1954. Together, they raised four children in North Fargo. After Virgil's death in 1984, Arlene married John J. Feight in 1985. They lived in several different places including Arizona, Washington, and Kansas. They moved to the Twin Cities in 2007. During her working years, Arlene was employed by the Cass County Extension Service, a job she thoroughly enjoyed. She was a skilled church musician, playing organ, singing in the choir, directing children's choirs, and providing piano accompaniment for children's choirs. She could play just about anything by ear on the piano. She loved all animals and was involved with the Audobon Society and other environmental organizations. Their backyard in Washington was declared a "Certified Wildlife Habitat." Arlene was a noted lefse maker, an amazing cook, seamstress, a devoted friend, and the world's best mother and grandmother.
