I fondly remember Arlene from my days at Conant

Kathy sorrel miller

Arlene was always close to teachers and staff at Conant High School. We could trust her knowledge and welcomed her help. More than a colleague, I will remember Arlene Prybell as a friend and an important member of the Conant Family.

Dear Rich and Prybell Family,
I am sorry to hear about your Mom passing away. My daughters went to Conant and everyone I met who knew her could not say enough nice things about her. She always welcomed me into her home and treated me like family, spent many days and nights at each of her homes! I still blame her for taking my college money playing cards with me, Gary and the guys on the weekend nights! She will always hold a special place in my heart.

Dear Prybell family, I used to work with Arlene at Conant HS. We used to share a great family stories together. She was my Polish friend at school. My prayers are with You.

Arlene was the heart and soul of CHS, and the glue that held it together. She defined "class" for all of us.
