Carol Shaw wrote a sympathy message

“She knew me as Ann Norfleet Shanholtzer. I’m so sorry to hear about Arlene‘s passing. I know she had not been well in some time and had been plagued all of her life with various ills. I’m one of her college friends and have known Arlene since 1960. We were roommates at LCU for at least one year, I’m not sure if she was there longer than that. I recall her joining our group of college friends on occasion, and remember she would cry easily. . I always think fondly of her because of our long friendship.”
