Legacy

Arlene was a strong but quiet woman who enjoyed the comforts of home and graciously welcomed everyone to her table.  She loved to prepare delicious meals for her family, tend to her beautiful garden, artistically decorate her home, and, enjoyed reading books and a good cup of coffee.  Arlene dedicated her love and life to her family, especially her daughters, grandchildren, pets, best friend/sister, Janice, and of course the love of her life, Jack.
