My mom, what can I say that anyone reading this doesn't already know. If you didn't know my mom, she was the warming voice you would hear when you needed to feel safe. She was the smile, laugh ,soft sound, or just gentle eyes you need to see or hear to know it will be ok. I never thought my time with you mom would only be for 42 short years but I have memories that will last a lifetime. I honestly can not believe I am writing in a tribute book for you. You truly were an amazing mom and friend that I so needed. I am so glad that god gave me you because with out your love and guidance I don't know where I would be. I look at pictures and videos and listen to voicemails and every single one you can feel the love you had for us. I will try my best to make you proud everyday . I will try my best to be the light you said people needed . I would have to say my best memory of you is just seeing how you were with all of us at BBQ's, or just a family get together. I will truly miss your smile and laugh oh that laugh mom lol and also how you would always end up with food on you lol. I will love you forever mom and keep you right here with me . I know you are busier than ever watching over all of us and I hope you are sitting on a porch with Smokey, Scruffy, and Buddy . I love you

I first met Arlene when I had Kristi in my second grade class at EJR. It was always such a pleasure to drive through at McDonalds and see her and get an update on her girls. She was unfailingly pleasant and friendly and I'm sorry to know she is no longer with us. Susan Burhans Haldeman

My mom truly was an amazing woman. She was so many things to me. She knew when to be a friend, a confidant, to give advice or let things play out. She knew when to have a talk with me and get me back on track so I could be the best possible version of myself. She truly showed me what it means to be a mother. Her selfless nature is what made her who she was. She quite literally at times gave up everything for her children. I will cherish every memory I have of her. Her laugh, her smile, her silly assumptions and the times she just joined in with her daughters. I could write a novel about my mom, but I will conclude with saying I love you mom and I hope you will watch over me and visit every once in a while.

I still cannot believe you are gone Mom. My heart aches so bad. I miss you more than words can explain. I wish my phone would ring and I would see Mom calling and then her your sweet voice say “hey Erica can you do me a favor or was wondering can I take this with my medicine.” I am going to miss our talks, your laugh, your smile. I hope you knew what you meant to me, Bella and Scott and how much you were loved. I know you will always be watching over us and I hope some days I will be able to feel your presence. The journey to your final resting place truly represented how special and amazing you were to all you have touched. Mom - until we meet again I will be thinking of you and looking to the sky.

I will always remember the countless holidays - Christmas and thanksgiving - spent at your home, Aunt Arlene. There was always a warmth to your home. A great fire, cousins all around, and animals everywhere but the real warmth came from you. You were easy to talk to, not like the average adult, you could understand where a kid was coming from and your simple advice to often not sweat stuff or everything will work out was always exactly what I needed to hear. I’ll always cherish those times growing up and never forget those conversations at the small table in the kitchen.
Love
Louie

To say that my mom is going to be missed is an understatement! I hope she knows what she meant to each of us. To me, she was a devoted and self-less mom. There was never a moment where I doubted her love or support. As I grew up, she continued to support and guide me. I can’t say she became my friend because our relationship was so much more than that. I will forever cherish the voicemails that I have saying “Hey Ker…just calling to ask you something. Okie dokie. Call me back.” Lucky for my kids, my mom shared her never-ending love with them. The girls called her Ma-Ma from an early age and it stuck. Ma-Ma gave them all a safe place to learn, grow and just be themselves. We always said “what happens at Ma-Ma’s house, stays at Ma-Ma’s house.” She spoiled them rotten and was always there for them. As a family, we will continue to spread love, laughter, and understanding because that’s what Ma-Ma would want. ❤️

Where do I begin? Let's go back to 2nd grade where Arlene and I met and forged an unbreakable bond that lasted a lifetime.
Arlene was: a blast to hang out with, that person to laugh til out sides hurt with, a great listener, problem-solver and advice-giver.
She was and always will be my very special and treasured friend!
Now physically gone from this world, to remain forever in my heart. ...... til we meet again.......keep laughing!

I am so saddened to hear this. Arlene has watched my children grow over the years and had my daughter Amanda as an employee at McDonald’s. I have shared so many stories and enjoyed Arlene’s company over the years. Truly she will be missed. May God rest your beautiful soul

I am so sad to hear this. McDonalds was my first job back in 1990 something and Arlene was my first manager. She made working there such a great experience. I will never forget her phrase "If you lean, you clean" I have used it on my own kids over the years. Even recently I saw her at the drive thru and she was a bright ray of sunshine. You don't ever forget your first job and Arlene made it an awesome experience!

Arlene was the only manager at McDonalds that would greet you with a smile no matter how crazy her day was. Kristi and Megan I am so sorry for your loss. Your mom was and will continue to be a true angel.

I was one of Arlene’s closers for many years, she’s been a big mentor for my own manager journey at McDonald’s. She’s was truly old school and there will never be anyone like her.

One of my strongest memories of Arlene is meeting in louies candy store. We would get a soda and just talk. Afterwards we would stand outside. Her favorite coat was a maxi! Once we spray painted dayglo paint down the seam of our bellbottoms!
