Arlene and Joe were married for 62 years. They loved one another deeply and were inseparable. They took pleasure in life's small things. They loved caring for their family and their home, traveling, taking walks and just sitting together, appreciating the day and holding hands.
Arlene will be remembered for her devotion to her husband and family, her sweet, quiet and caring personality, her surprising subversive sense of humor and her dislike of pomp and pretense.
