When my Dad was away during World War ll, Aunt Arleen was a great help to my Mom in providing support and caring affection toward me as a 2 year old.
She is the last of the Brown siblings to pass on which makes me very sad.
Arleen lived a long life full of many memorable experiences.
With Love and remembrance from
Her First Nephew

I can only concur with Dave Brown regarding Aunt Arleen. I grew up with many memories of her, Uncle Norman, Don, Doug, and Diane. I had always looked forward to family picnics and wished I had stayed in touch more often. Aunt Arleen was very fortunate to grow up in the loving and caring environment of the Harold and Sara Brown Family. At least they are all together now.
With love and fond memories from her Third Nephew.

Just heard of Arlene’s going home. I wish I had seen her more but our lives get TOO busy. I don’t even know any of my second cousins since you were little. There are only 3 cousins and 2 half cousins left now. I was so glad that Iris (who I was closer to) and I got a day to visit homes and cemetaries before she went home. It would be so great to be able to get to see and know each of Arlene and Norm’s family as well as the rest of you young people.
God bless you all,
Faye
