We met Arleen when we both worked at Peace River Center back in the 80's. She was great fun to be around, always had a smile on her face. Several of us would meet for 'happy hour' on paydays whether we drank or not; it was the friendship and the fun that we all had whenever we would get together that was most important. She was a good person and truly loved life and all her children and grandchildren and great grandchildren. Treasure all the memories and she will always be in your heart.

When I was 15 I came to Florida for a week and stayed with my Aunt Arleen and my cousin's in Lakeland. It's one of the greatest memories growing up spending time listening to Aunt Arleen's wonderful stories, sneeking through the fence at the ballpark at the end of the street with my awesome cousin's to watch the Detroit Tiger's spring training. Aunt Arleen has and will always be in my heart. May God watch over my cousin's and help them to find peace in their heart's with this tremendous loss.
