Arley Bessie Lake

We are so sorry for your loss. We remember Arley as a next-door neighbor to and fellow organist with Ruth Williams (d. 1999) at CRC. We met Arley again a few years ago when the Albion FUMC Choir came to sing for and with Betty Beese. Arley knew all the words and hymn page numbers from memory! She was such a cheerful person, full of joy and music. How amazing that she was 98! We know she will be missed.

Arley was such a giving person. She enjoyed playing hymns. Arley taught me some hymns I didn't know when I would sing and she would play for Chapel Service in Townsley and Glazier. What a honor to have known Arley. I will miss her. Prayers for the family.

Arley was a cherished adopted grandparent for many previous South Meadows Elementary School fifth graders. She was always warm, generous and accepting. It was a privilege to know her. I was saddened to hear of her passing and extend my deepest condolences to her family.

I'm so sorry for your loss. Please know that God does care for you, pour out your heart in prayer to Him. Please accept my sincere condolences.

My deepest condolences to the Lake family for the loss of Arley. May God's Word strengthen you during this difficult time. (Isa. 41:10,13)

Mrs. Lake was a blessing to me as I visited the CRC community and led worship on occasion. I appreciated her kind words of encouragement.

Having known her for several years at the Chelsea Home, I appreciated her sharing her musical gifts at the many chapel services over the years.
