Richard and Karen Arends Obituary
Richard, 85, was a proud veteran of the United States Army and later enjoyed a long career with AT&T. Known for his steady presence and quiet strength, he was deeply committed to his family and to a life of service. He had a passion for geocaching, real estate, and maintaining a healthy lifestyle. He is survived by his brother, James Arends.
Karen, 83, was a dedicated homemaker whose creativity enriched every space she touched. She especially loved antiquing and had a keen eye for finding beauty in the past. She is survived by her two sisters, Susan Simonson and Deborah D'Albert.
Richard and Karen are survived by their children-Kimberly (Conley) Mitchell, Mark Conley, and Mark Arends-and their beloved grandchildren: Cia Conley, Parker Conley, Kelsey (Mitchell) Cerbone, Kerry Mitchell, and Brooklyn Arends, and their great-granddaughter, Caileigh Cerbone. They leave behind a legacy of kindness, resilience, and deep connection that will be remembered always.
