Arlene Wardell could always make me smile and feel embraced by her unconditional friendship. Her insight and advice have guided me as a woman, mother and teacher. Arlene had a special twinkle in her eye that told you, "I'm listening. I care." She could make you laugh, but she could also make you think. Her passion for the ideals of sisterhood in our sorority and the spirited discussions she shared were inspiring. Arlene could weave a story so that you wanted to hear every detail. She could lift you up when you needed it most. She was never discouraged by a challenge. She was a lady. She knew how to have a good time. She had spunk. She had true faith. Having her as my 'sister' was a blessing.##imported-begin##Mary Joffre##imported-end##

Arlene was a lifetime friend. We met in 7th grade homeroom and it was instant like. We were baptized together and began our spiritual journeys together. We kept in touch and no matter how many years have passed I mourn her loss deeply because she has been in my heart these 65 years.##imported-begin##Eva Yates##imported-end##

Arlene was a true spirit of the Lord she loved and worshiped. She brought joy to the hearts of many and always had a positive outlook. This angel, Arlene, was brought to me many years ago by my dear friend Jeannine. Throughout the past twenty years our friendship grew as we shared moments of joy with her husband Bob, Granada Christmas Eve every year and many of their events, Christmas at Robert's house, our New York excursion to find her mom’s roots and see the Macy Thanksgiving Parade, our Friday night dinners, the Rosebowl and numerous U of M games, as well as years of Dolphin games and fan club events. She was adventurous, spirited, well read, she loved ...her friend and dear neighbor Cyndy, her best friend Jeannine, her Youth for Christ events with Jackie, her lunches and trips with Betty, her family, Tommie, Glysel, & TJ, and Robert, Emily, & Rachel, her ADK and DKG sisters, her Reading Council, trips to the spa, dinners with old students Kathy and Penny, her work with Dade County Schools, and her many friends. May we find joy in the memories we shared with Arlene and may her family and friends always be blessed with this angel watching over us##imported-begin##Diana Taub##imported-end##

Arlene truly shone a light into every life - you felt it was just for you, but we know it was for many. Jeannine says she was an angel come to earth, and I guess she was called home, but oh how we here will miss her. We love you, Arlene##imported-begin##Michelle Starrett Knecht##imported-end##

I met Arlene through my first cousin Jeannine Marcy as the two of them would stop when near Ocala and visit with me. She was truly a beautiful person and I know that all of her friends will miss her dearly. I will certainly miss her visits.

My condolences to the family.##imported-begin##Evelyn Fendley##imported-end##

My dear, dear friend, what a great blessing our God bestowed upon me when he allowed you to become my friend--42 years ago! What greater gift could there be here on this earth? Our many trips when Bob was with us, our many trips after his death--all were filled with many wonderful experiences, always knowing that God was with us and our praise to Him ongoing. Your smile, your laughter, your love, and sometimes even your tears were all part of the times we spent together--I'll always remember. You are forever in my heart.You know how much I love you. As we used to say when our visits came to an end, "I hope to see you soon!"##imported-begin##Jeannine Marcy##imported-end##

What an honor and a privilege to have Arlene as my ADK sister and friend for twenty-four short years. She has been an inspiration and delight to know. A true Christian in every sense of the word. Arlene's being always radiated with a deep spiritual joy, regardless of the circumstances. I truly loved talking to her and sharing my life with her. Her wisdom was great, her strength of character unmatched. Arlene brought a Godly insight into all situations. Being with her, one always sensed a deep concern and care beyond compare. I loved Arlene with all my heart. I know that her rewards in heaven are great. I also know that as she entered her heavenly home, God spoke the words,"Well done, thy good and faithful servant." I take comfort in the fact that someday we shall meet again and there we shall never part. Until that day comes, Arlene will remain in my heart. My thoughts and prayers are with her sons and their families.##imported-begin##Lisa Smith##imported-end##

I have never in my life met a woman that had such an effortless ability to light up a room … endearingly I called her my own personal SUNSHINE. Arlene, you will be missed but I thank God for having placed you in my life, if only for a season.

The entire Charter School Operations department sends their prayers and sympathy to the family but hope that they know that God has added an amazing Angel to his entourage.

We love you Arlene! Rest in peace.##imported-begin##Tiffanie Pauline-Roseau##imported-end##
