Arlene Pacheco Obituary

With profound sadness, we announce the passing of Arlene Marie Pacheco, a devoted wife, loving mother, cherished grandmother, and beloved daughter, who peacefully departed this life on July 30, 2025, at the age of 64. Arlene was the heart of her family — warm, generous, and deeply caring. Her love for her family knew no bounds, and her gentle strength touched everyone around her. She was a source of comfort, wisdom, and unconditional love, always placing others before herself. She is preceded in death by her beloved son, Lee Patrick Pacheco, whom she now joins in eternal peace. Arlene leaves behind her devoted husband, Carmen Pacheco; her daughters, Jessica and Regina Pacheco; her treasured grandchildren, Ricky, Manny, Xander, and Autumn Rose Marie; her loving parents, Patrick and Rose Allen; and her dear sister, Cheryl Martin. Arlene's legacy lives on in the hearts of those who knew and loved her. She will be remembered for her boundless compassion, her unwavering devotion to her family, and the gentle grace with which she moved through the world. A private memorial will be held by the family to celebrate Arlene’s beautiful life.

A Prayer for Arlene

Dear Lord, We thank You for the gift of Arlene’s life. Thank You for all the love, joy, and kindness she brought to the lives of her family and friends. As we mourn her passing, grant us peace and comfort in the memories we shared with her. Wrap her in Your eternal light and hold her in Your loving arms. May she rest in Your perfect peace and may her soul shine on in the hearts of those who loved her. Amen.
