In Memory of our Dear Arlene,

A platinum crown of curls, a ponytail’s playful sway, Arlene arrived like sunrise—warm, instant, here to stay. She saw God’s hand in kittens, in starlight Cliff adored, In every blooming garden, in music’s barbershop chord.

Three children—James, Deb, Michael—her proudest, brightest song; She spoke their names like blessings, then let the silence throng. Grandmother indulgent, great-grandmother’s open arms, A friend the moment eyes met,...

SHE WAS THE MOST AMAZING LADY. WE ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT WHEN CAME IN TO OUR DENTAL OFFICE. THE BIGGEST HEART...MY FAVORITE MEMORY WAS WHEN SHE HAD SHOULDER SURGERY AND CLIFF WAS IN CHARGE OF DOING HER HAIR AND MAKEUP.. HE DID GOOD!

So deeply saddened to hear of Arlene´s passing. She was such a warm and loving person to everyone she met. Arlene was a dear friend to my mother, and they shared a lifetime of memories growing up together. My heartfelt condolences to the Newman family-sending love, strength, and comfort to you during this difficult time.

Arlene was always such a sweet lady with such a generous and warm heart. I am sure that she will be missed by many folks.

You will be in my heart forever. So many memories over the years. Rest easy my friend. ❤
