My fondest memory of my sweet cousin was when we were young back in the 60s she would babysit for my mom and dad and when my brothers were asleep she would come get me and her and I would hang out watching TV and eating snacks (Just the girls) I loved her dearly. She was an amazing woman and a true warrior.

Arlene was my first cousin. I attended here Father and Mother's Wedding in 1948 and Arlene was born a year later in 1949, My father James Occhipinti Sr. was Arlene's Godfather. We all lived in Paterson, New Jersey and were a very close family. I called Arlene every day for almost a year after she had her liver transplant. I prayed for her and encouraged her every time I called her on the phone. Arlene, thank you for the wonderful memories and I will join you in Heaven someday. Love your cousin Rev. John D.
