Arlean has been a friend since her daughter, Kalla, married my younger brother, Larry. She was my "nurse" and prepared breakfast for me when I recovered from knee surgery at Kalla and Larry's home many years ago. I enjoyed her company each day...visiting until Kalla returned home from work...and many times during my visits to Little Chute. Arlean flashed a quick smile and her bright eyes were delightful. I will miss my friend, Arlean, but will remember her often with delight and in prayer. May you be at Peace with Jesus, until we meet again. X0

My favorite memory of Arlene was the day I visited and we played the old fashion game of Tiddly Winks---good laughs.
I have to smile when I think of stories she told me from her teen years, and will fondly remember our Christmas shopping trip on a bus to Chicago with her sister Jackie and Kalla.
Until we meet again Arlene....May you rest in peace

I loved you as if you were my mom. I am glad you came into my life by chance. Thanks for sharing laughs and tears and especially LUNCH after the cleaning was done. Guess what... It's your turn to buy when we see each other again. Miss you bunches. Love you! Joanie
