Arlene Carney Obituary

September 28, 1935 - January 28, 2016
Arlene passed away after a courageous battle with ovarian cancer on January 28, 2016. She was born September 28, 1935 to Edith and Harvey Roush in Noti, Oregon.

Arlene was a gypsy at heart and traveled the world. She loved family dinners, good food and wine, Christmas and Easter, watching football, playing bridge, summers in Oregon and holding babies. She was extremely creative and talented and put these gifts to use as an interior decorator for many years. She was a beautiful, elegant and classy lady. She loved being with her kids and was our best friend.

She is survived by her husband of 54 years, Neil, daughter Patti, son-in-law Michael, sons John and Matthew. She is also survived by her sister Ellen Babbitt, brother Jerry Roush, sister-in-law Mary Manship and numerous nieces, nephews and cousins.

Memorial services in San Antonio and Oregon are pending. The family requests that remembrances be made to the Ovarian Cancer Research Fund.

To plant trees in memory, please visit the Sympathy Store.

We share your sadness in the passing of Arlene. And although it's been many years since we last saw you, we remember the many happy time, both when we were in the Air Force and thereafter when you lived in the Northwest.

Our thoughts are with you.
