Arlene Kieta

Siempre estás en mis pensamientos..con mucho cariño y amor.

This is ironic! I was just looking at old sent emails, and I had one from Arlene, I moved it to the family folder and had great thoughts about her and laughed. This was yesterday.

I´m sorry to hear Arlene has passed but she is with all of her fabulous people like my parents. Arlene was a model with my Mom in the 50´s. She was my Auntie Mame like the movie. Her life was the opposite of my Mom´s. Both were such beauties and super fun gals. I wanted to be like Auntie Arlene who in my eyes had it all. She traveled around the world and brought back exotic gifts for me and the stories she would tell had me hanging on the edge with excitement. I lost touch with her after my parents passed away. We spoke a few times on the phone. Last time I chatted with her she was on a portable oxygen tank and was on stage in a play. Arlene was that fabulous she could make an oxygen tank a prop while she kept being Arlene whom I´ve always thought of as my own Auntie Mame!!

Thinking of my honorary Godmother this Christmas and missing her infectious courage.

Arlene Kieta Aunty U Are My Inspiration Long Kluss Family Childhood Friends That Became Part Of Our Family Now Our Guardian Angel In Heaven Arlene Kieta Made Great Memories For Our Family That Last Forever R.I.P.

Dennis and family,

We are all so sorry for your loss. My mom and I were talking about Arlene and she had told me that she has been calling and calling and never heard back. I started digging and found this. Auntie Arlene brought so much happiness every time she would visit and we all have such great memories of her. I was in New Hope a few months ago and went by Smokerise thinking she may have been around. I'm am so sad to hear this news and my Mom sends her love as well. She was a great "Lady" and will be missed!

Dear Dear Arlene... Honored to have known such a lovely spirit!! I will forever think of you in my prayers & with a smile always... Thank you for all the joy you brought... May you rest in eternal peace...

What an inspiration to live life to the fullest. Arlene was my Godmother and faithfully kept in touch with me my whole life. She and my mom were models together in Chicago and they were lifelong friends. Peace be with you, Godmother Arlene.

Arlene's faith had legs with the many corporal works of mercy that she did. I will always remember my first visit to New York, and the fun times we shared with her and my family.
May her soul rest in peace for God is Love and Mercy Itself.

Her Godchild,

Friends and family of Arlene, I will never forget her voice, her fabulous birthday parties and her glamorous attire. She was truly a grande dame and will be sorely missed by Polish Assistance where her contributions to the Bal Polonaise were legendary. The Amateur Comedy Club, where she was a member for over 25 years, will not be the same without her. Farewell dear friend.

Too many memories to list or ever let go of. I hold the place of "the first Godchild". Be at peace.

Arlene was one of a kind, and I'm thankful for the opportunity to have known her for many years. Her stories were always fascinating and entertaining, as was she. Rest in Peace, Lady Arlene.

Arlene was always the life of the party.
She will not be forgotten.

I will never forget the light that she had around her. See you later aunt Arlene.

Dennis and family......my name is Paul Krause and your brother Ray was a very close friend. I knew Arlene and will and have missed them both. Ray died in 1959 while in the army. God bless Arlene and Ray and. God bless and help your family in this trying time. Thank you

DEAR DENNIS AND FAMILY,
MY DEEPEST SYMPATHY FOR YOUR LOSS.

It was an honor to know Arlene for many years and to share fun times with her at chili cook-offs and at my home where she was a guest occasionally.

I was thrilled to attend her birthday party several years ago. What a fantastic party for a truly remarkable lady.

Rest in peace, Arlene, and thanks for your friendship.

Sincere condolences to all for the loss of this lovely, classy lady. She was a wonderful presence at the chili cookoffs in the NE area. She will be missed.

Our sincere condolences on the loss of this remarkable woman. It was our honor to know her and get to see her at Chili Cookoff. May her memory always bring joy to all who knew her.

A fascinating lady that will be missed by all. RIP Arlene

The Spirit of this extraordinary woman, that I miss....giving love and so much else, and keeping on...oxygen tank and all. On stage in a play, heading to the Evergreen Cafe daily as she could when she was curtailed by her COPD, joy! That was this wonderful loving generous gorgeous woman!

Dear Dennis and Family,
Please accept our deepest sympathy on the passing of your sister Arlene. We were neighbors on Mango Avenue -(one of the many Klests) but have lived in the NY area for the past 52 years. Holding you and all of your family in my heart.
