Mrs. Pomerleau was a homemaker for most of her life, and had worked for a time at NRF Distributors. She was a talented seamstress and was well-known for the beautiful clothes that she made for her children. She doted on her dogs, Angel and Sparky, and enjoyed her daily walks and car rides with them. Mrs. Pomerleau loved to garden and spent many hours tending to her flowers and yard. She was especially proud of her husband, children and grandchildren whom she dearly loved.
She was a communicant of St. Augustine Catholic Church and was a member of the Ladies of St. Anne Society. She enjoyed making rosaries and volunteered her time in the cafeteria at St. Augustine School for many years.

Normand, Jim, Debbie, Terry and all Of Arlene's extended family, I am so sorry to here of her passing. My thoughts are with you all at this difficult time.
Arlene taught me how to bind area rugs way back when I started at NRF in the early 80's. As I ran into her over the years she always had a smile and took the time to chat a bit. I know she will be missed.
God Bless

So sorry to hear of her passing. May you all take comfort in knowing that she is in a much better place where there is no pain or suffering. No one can take away the great memories that you all share. I remember going to the house on Laurel St. everyday to play with Debbie and Jimmy. We had such a great time with all the kids in the neighborhood. She would call my mother and they would talk or my mother would come out into the yard above on Crosby St. and they would chat back and forth. She always kept a close eye on us. There were always snacks and drinks in the house for everyone. And of course the pool table in the basement! I miss all those good times and her great smile. Please, all of you, take good care!

If there is one memory that stands out of my childhood, it was Mrs. Pomerleau. Our bus stop was on the corner and every morning she would be outside tending to her flowers or heading out for a walk. Her house was always the house to go to for Halloween too! She was a wonderful Lady and will surely be missed by the neighborhood. My thoughts go out to the Pomerleau Family.

Norman and family: I am so very sorry for your loss. I did not know Arlene well but missed seeing her walk the dogs past few years and hoped she was well. Loved seeing her work in the yard in the perfectly manicured landscape. She was truly a classy lady.

I wish to send my heartfelt condolences to the Pomerleau family.
Arlene was a lovely lady in so many ways. We called her the welcoming lady on Windy street. I will miss seeing her in the garden . My grandaughter and I always walked pass her house on the way to my mothers, always a beautiful smile and a hello even when she was inside she waved from her window. I am waving good by to her now, may the good lord take her in his arms and keep her.
