I met Arlene when I was a student med-tech at Memorial. I graduated and quickly hired on to second shift. Arlene was my 3-11 dinner buddy, my lab week partner and ultimate mentor. She was one of the kindest women I have ever met and had the biggest heart and amazing spirit. She will truly truly be missed by so many. Dory-ann is what she always called me and I will always remember her fondly. Sending big hugs to her family and all of our MMC/SMH work family.

Arlene “Too Short” was a charmer who was such a nice lady. She will be missed.

I didn't know her, but I do know her niece, Denise. Denise follows in her Aunts footsteps. Condolences to the family.

Arlene was a kind caring friend and a founding member of the Mustang Outlaws. She will be missed.

I'm sorry I won't be able to attend the visitation. I was a coworker of Arlenes in the Memorial Hospital lab. When I was starting out as a med tech, Arlene was so helpful and I learned so much from her. She was one of the kindest people I have ever met. So sorry for your loss Lance. She was a good mom.
