Publish in a newspaper

Arlene Helen Trzaskowski Faught, wonderful mother and grandmother peacefully passed on Saturday, November 29, 2025. She was a woman whose gentle spirit, warm smile, and unforgettable laugh touched everyone fortunate enough to know her. She found joy in life's simple moments by tending to her garden, watching hummingbirds hover in the sunlight, and feeding the birds that gathered in her yard each day. Over the years, she shared her heart with many beloved dogs, each one treated like her own child. A devoted mother of four boys and 1 daughter, she naturally became a guiding presence in their lives and in the lives of many others, serving proudly as a Boy Scout leader. She believed in helping people quietly and humbly, always working behind the scenes with kindness and without seeking recognition. She carried herself with grace and took pride in her appearance. Her laugh was her signature; warm, genuine, and unforgettable. Friends and family often remarked on how special it was, a sound that could instantly brighten a room. Above all, her greatest joy in life was her grandchildren. They were her pride, her inspiration, and the lights of her world. Arlene is preceded in death by her husband, Lawrene Faught, her son, Michael Fisher and her brother, Edward Trzaskowski. She is survived by her children; William Thomas Fisher (Melinda), Christopher George Fisher (Lessie), Robert Douglas Fisher and Nikki Jerret, her siblings; Michael Trzaskowski, Paul Thornton, and her grandchildren, Morgan Fisher (Stacy), Dylan Fisher (Chelsea), Christal Hardwick(Russell), Christi Keaton (Danny), Jacki Hammond, Andrea Baird (Brion) and Andrew Evans, and her great grandchildren, Paisley, Peyton, Mya, Emma, Rocklyn, Halstyn, Nora, Brayden, Eli, Raelynn, Remy, Riley, Hannah and Robert. Visitation will be held Friday, December 5th, from 1:00–2:00 PM at Maley Yarbrough funeral home, followed by a service at 2:00 PM. Burial will take place at Covington Memorial Gardens immediately following the service. In Lieu of flowers the family requests that donations be made to Covington Animal Rescue Effort (PO Box 415 Covington, TN 38019), honoring Arlene's lifelong love for animals.
