I was so saddened to hear of Arlene's passing. She will be greatly missed. I have many fond memories of her. She is no longer ill but feeling healthy and happy while walking the street of gold with our Lord by her side. She is with Uncle Bob, Aunt Nancy, Tina and dad and they are watching over our families. Much love to all of you.

Dear Mary Jo, So sorry to learn of your sister Arlene's passing. She was fortunate to have such a loving and patient sister as you. Thinking of you and your family during this time of loss. May Arlene now rest in the Lord's Peace.

I worked with Arlene at Metro Health in the 80's. Arlene was such a kind, patient nurse, and was nice to everyone. We worked triage together. Although I have not seen her for years, she will be missed by me and many others. Cathy Schell was our supervisor and as a group of nurses we had many good times together, pitch ins and Christmas party memories.
Sincerely, Cindy Crawford (previously Cindy Good)

Arlene was my "Little Sis" in Nursing School. She was "Aunt Arlene" to my children Jason & Susan. We loved her deeply! My thoughts & prayers are with her family & loved ones. I did not know of Arlene's passing until April 24, 2016.
