    Tom and I would like to extend our deepest condolences in Arlene’s passing. May she rest in peace. She will be remembered for her kindness.

  7. CandleImageThe sad news of Arlene’s passing has touched us deeply. She had a laugh that made everyone around her want to laugh. Lou and Arlene built us our dream retirement home, and a strong and lasting friendship was the result. We had no family and Arlene adopted us, to her family was everything.
    She always told me the smartest thing I ever did was to marry a nice Italian boy. We all know she will be making Sunday spaghetti dinner in heaven. Rest in peace dear lady you have earned it.

  9. CandleImageI am so sorry for the loss of our “Aunty Arlene” (my kids always referred to our wonderful neighbors as auntie Arlene and uncle Lou). We have lived directly across the street from these wonderful people for almost 30 years. We are already missing Arlene. We share a mailbox and would see her or Louis on a daily basis. God bless this wonderful family. We love you, The Cortese Family 💙🙏💙

  10. CandleImageRest in eternal peace my dear friend. I will miss your laughter and will never forget the kindness you showed me.

  11. CandleImageCondolences to Louis and family. Arlene graduated with the class of CHS 1958 and I was in the class of 1959. She is remembered as a friendly person and always made everyone feel that they counted. Please know your loved one is remembered by those that knew and loved her. May she rest in peace.
