Arlyne Fine was a woman that is very difficult to describe on just a typed piece of paper.Hopefully in writing this I can capture just some of her captivating qualities. She was the kind of person that could really warm your heart and showed she really cared for you. As a child she taught me the importance of how you present yourself to others. She was the definition of a lady. She would make sure to correct me when I would tell her a story “Me and Amy went to the mall ….” and she would say “Ashley, it is Amy and I went to the mall.” Also Auntie could never put a tub of cream cheese on the table; she always made sure it went into the proper serving dish first. Despite her meticulous ways, everyone admired her perfection and image as an elegant woman. However Auntie knew how to let loose. I remember dancing around the house while she rocked out big band tunes on the piano. Making the trip from St. Louis to Boston was always a pleasure. I could already imagine all of the delicious treats she would bake. Most of all Auntie would show how much she cared about you, just a few short weeks ago I spoke to her on the phone and she told me how proud she was of me and what a wonderful young lady I had become. She really made me feel special. Auntie Arlyne was an unforgettable, amazing woman and she will be missed

It has been many years since I have seen Arlyne but have been kept up to date by her loving niece Barbra Ginsberg. Many years ago, Arlyne lovingly crocheted dozens of kippahs for my son's bar mitzvah when I was not able to learn the art.
What a lovely woman she was. I will always remember her kindness, humor and generosity.

Arlyne was one of the first real "Ladies" I met when I first became a Flower Show Judge and we got to know each other in Florida at Bob Thomas' seminar. She was always very encouraging and supportive to me. I will miss her.
