Arline was born to the late Albert and Katie (Holzer) Filer on June 26, 1926. She grew up and attended school in Leroy, TX and graduated from West High School. She married the late Johnnie Holub on January 28, 1945 in Tours, TX. They moved to Waco shortly after and went into the small grocery store business with her parents. She later worked at Owens Illinois Glass Plant and Montgomery Ward, from which she retired.

She was a loving and caring mother and grandmother to her four children, eight grandchildren and two great-grandchildren. She was very dedicated to her faith and her beloved parish, St. Louis Catholic Church. Arline cherished her relationships with her family and friends. Growing up as an only child, she thoroughly enjoyed the Holub siblings she gained in marriage and considered them her brothers and sisters. Arline was known for her talents and has left many remembrances of crocheting, knitting, needlepoint, cross-stitch, and paintings for her family and friends to treasure. She also enjoyed doing puzzles, word finds, gardening and bird watching.

She is survived by her children Larry Holub, wife Gayle of Waco, Beverly Dobiyanski, husband Jerry of Lake Limestone, and Eileen Kubala, husband Charles of McGregor. Grandchildren, Scott Holub, wife Elaine, Vicki Dobiyanski, Christopher Kubala, Kristen Holub, Dustin Holub, Brian Dobiyanski, wife Kayla, and Emily Kubala. She is also survived by two great-grandchildren, Zachary and Jacob Holub and another expected in July.

She was preceded in death by her parents, husband Johnnie Holub, son Dennis Holub and grandson Steven Holub.

The family would like to thank the staff and volunteers at St. Catherine’s Center for their dedicated service, care, and compassion, where she resided for the past 18 months.
