I did not have her for chemistry but I remember telling a friend I was having a problem with a certain chemistry problem,,,she overheard me talking about it and asked me to show it to her... with that help she helped me to pass my chemistry mid-term. She was wonderful and will be missed. My deepest sympathy and blessings to her family and loved ones. - Karen Mitchell (Philadelphia, PA)

"Arlene wants to be a Federwoman and teach us all chemistree-ee" (to the tune of stevie wonders superwoman) I loved her. esp when she wrote on the board with her left hand sporting her enormously blinding bling bling rock. I have a lab right now in my home because of the foundation she gave us! You were blessed to have her in your lives. My Condolences on your enormous loss.
She knew me as Sheryl Strothers GHS 220 and I am sure I was her favorite!

Dear Frank and children. Some teachers come and go; some change your life forever. Mrs. Federman believed in me (as her student) when my home life was dangerous and unpredictable. She was nurturing, reassuring, and instilled in all of us that we could become whatever we wanted to be - particularly in the sciences. Please know that her legacy lives on through her precious family and the thousands of young women's lives that she touched as their beloved Chemistry teacher.

Please accept my sincere sympathies. Arlene was the reason I majored in chemistry. I had her as a chemistry teacher in 1963. She showed that a woman could be attractive, dynamic AND a scientist. I'll never forget her.

Dear Frank, Tom, Jackie and family,
I was very shocked to learn of Arlene's passing. I surprised her with a holiday card last year. She called and we were able to do some catching up. I taught with Arlene for many years at Girls' High. I can remember how often she spoke so lovingly of Frank, Jackie and Tommy! You and her entire family have my condolences. May pleasant memories of a wonderful woman be yours always, especially at this time.
