Arlene was a beautiful, gentle soul. May she be rewarded in God’s heaven.
My prayers are with Arlene’s family. We went to school together. Arlene was a beautiful, gracious lady. Blessings.
Dear Walding family, I’m so sorry to hear of Arlene’s passing. My folks, the Santarellis, were members of the Chorale also. She was so much fun. I remember the after concert gatherings at Village Inn and then IHOP, she always had everyone laughing. Rest In Peace, Arlene.

Marlene, my bestie, my soul sista, I love you and am here for you and the boys always!
Sending my sincere condolences to all of Arlene’s family. I will always remember the Thanksgiving dinners. She was an amazing lady. I am so glad the boys have the memories of the long trips she took them on. She has joined our friend Steve who we celebrated this morning. May God grant you peace at this most difficult time.
Love Doug and Debbie
