Arlene was my friend and local "Yiddishe Schwester". She fought hard for the human and civil rights of all of us and served our people well.
May she rest in peace. We shall all miss her!

Dear Arlene was a wonderful lady, a devoted Democrat, and a true activist for all the right reasons and causes. She always showed up! I will miss her smile and the conversations we had, especially as she greeted me at all the events and meetings. Rest well, sweet Arlene.
