She was a resident of Chardon for 5 years, formerly of Twinsburg. Arlene was a member of St. John Lutheran/Christ Lutheran Church for The Deaf in Garfield Heights for over 50 years. She was a member of the Red Hat Society and Dahlia Society of Ohio. Arlene graduated from Lutheran East High School in 1964 and was a banker with National City/PNC Bank. In her free time, Arlene loved scrapbooking, cross stitch, arts and crafts, and gardening and loved the Cleveland Indians. Arlene enjoyed traveling, especially to Venice and Greece, and loved cruising. She will be remembered by family and friends as outgoing, strong-willed and always smiling. Arlene was a social butterfly and never knew a stranger. She will be greatly missed.
