The Mazurek Family is saddened to announce the passing of Arlene Mazurek, 80, our beloved mom, grandmother, aunt, and sister-in-law on Monday, June 7, 2010. Arlene was a warm and giving person and avid Saints fan who lived each and every day of her life with joy and a smile. We will miss her.

Arlene was an X-Ray Technician, an instructor of X-Ray Technology, and an accomplished public speaker.

She gave freely of her time and care whether at work or home to those in need of advice and support in regard to their breast cancer fears. Arlene was a member of the Northwest Florida Society of X-Ray Technologists, a member of Toast Masters, and a member of Immanuel Baptist Church.

I worked at West Florida Hospital in 1975 when Arlene came to work there. I enjoyed her sense of humor and her dedication to both her work and her family. I will miss her and remember her.

My prayers are with you. Mom loved Arlene dearly. She and Mom would have the best time out in the field watching me pick whatever was growing at that time! lol. They worked together at the hospital for nearly my whole life growing up, and they were pals off out of work as well. She was very proud of the life your family built together, and it showed. Mom would want me to tell you how much Arlene meant to her. She was a great Lady and will be missed by everyone. God bless.

Now , 27 years later , I can not begin to express the deep admiration , respect , and genuine love I have for her .Arlene was full of knowledge and had a fiery spirit that captivated those around her . My prayers go out to you , her family . May the Lord comfort you and give you HIS peace .

Be Still
Be still like the grass on a melancholy summer day
Be still like desert shrub.
Be calm and you will hear your loved one speak, in the stillness, in the calm, their love resounds.
If you are still this promise I make, you will hear the voice of your loved one helping you along your way.

David and family I am so sorry for your loss. I absolutely loved your mother. She was such a wonderful and dear friend. I will miss her dearly. There is not enough words to express how I feel about Arlene. I enjoyed working with her for many years at West Fl. Hospital. I will have all of you in my prayers. God bless everyone in this wonderful family.
