Arlene was a graduate from Victor High School, where she met her dear friend Fran Bowe.  Fran and her were two peas in a pod and have remained very close friends through all of these years.  She worked for nearly 40 years for Mobile Chemical where she made many friends that she has kept in contact with since retirement.  Cate and Mel will greatly miss their weekly Uno championships with Mom.
