She also leaves behind her beloved cats, Sara and Nellie. Arlene’s passion was her family. There was no role she adored more than that of being “Naunie”. She loved hosting summer barbeques and holiday dinners for her children and extended relatives. She enjoyed serving her famous meatballs and chicken cutlets. Arlene was also a wonderful gardener, and frequently shared fresh vegetables from her garden. Arlene loved to travel with Peter and spent as much of her summer as she could at her favorite getaway on Long Island in Montauk, NY. Arlene is predeceased by her father and mother and will be laid to rest with them on May 2, 2020 in Flushing, NY. There will be a short blessing at Sacred Heart Church in Bayside at 9:45AM with a procession to outside of Flushing Cemetery to follow.
