Our Mother and grandmother was always an inspiration as a parent, a teacher and a good friend. Love is the greatest gift that one generation can leave to another.

We were given something stable to hang on to — a generational connection, a sense of their own past, a hope for our own future. Most of all, we need what parents and grandparents give us, profound love, and unending support on wings of Angels Mom, NaNa and Arlene.

Arlene will be laid to rest at Millersville Mennonite Cemetery with a private family ceremony to take place. A Celebration of Life Service for Arlene will be held either late spring or early summer 2021. A notice will be sent out with details.

In lieu of flowers, memorials in Arlene's memory may be sent to Salvation Army 131 S. Queen St. Lancaster, PA 17602 or Redeemer Lutheran Church 500 Pearl St. Lancaster, PA 17603.
