Bernice Arlene Wise

My heart goes out to my cousins Glen, Judy and Karen in the loss of their mother. Arlene is safe in the arms of our Lord and without earthly pain. May she rest in eternal peace.

Arlene was one of the first people at Pantano Christian Church that I volunteered under before I started working there full-time. She taught me everything about the copiers and all of the equipment in the office. She and I worked many hours/days to set up the workroom in the new office when it was built. She was a joy to work with. She had a magic touch with those crazy printers and was always happy to share her secrets. She gave to Pantano tirelessly over the years and didn't slow down until she had to. She will be missed. May her family be surrounded by wonderful memories.

Arlene and I were old friends in every sense. We were the same age with both of our birthdays in the same month. And we have known each other for decades--through Bible studies and adventures together --mostly during our time at Pantano Christian Church.

She wanted to grow in her knowledge of God and in her relationships with her treasured family and friends.
I will miss Arlene.

Arleen was a special lady; it was my pleasure to have her as a team leader of the 4-H group.

Arlene was so open and kind to teach me about Jesus. She cared, listened, and guided me just when I needed her most. She saw promise in me and encouraged my growth in the Lord. I will always treasure our friendship. I will forever be grateful for her coming alongside a struggling young mother wanting to know Jesus. I had The Best! Rest in peace, Dear Arlene.

May her memory forever be a blessing.

Such a kind, kind woman. She was devoted to her children.
There was never a doubt about her faith in God. What a wonderful life she led.
Wonderful memories from the 50s and early 60s.

Arlene was a beautiful and wise woman. She never feared to tell you what she thought and delighted in teaching new things. We will miss her dearly.

Arlene also was an accomplished artist. She began in high school. Pencil drawing was her favorite medium. After her children were grown she started going to art classes at Parks and Rec. Later she went back to Tanque Verde Adult Education and continued drawing in 2017 - 2019.
