Arlene had a love for jewelry, shopping, loudly singing church hymns, a good family gathering, a winning lottery ticket or slot machine, and all animals. She especially loved her dog Lily and any stray cat or animal that would come in her yard that she could feed. Arlene was a strong and faithful woman who loved the Lord.
