Arlene Gleason Obituary

Dear Robert and Boys,
It is always rough lousing a loved one, especially a Mother. It will take and affect the heart of that Family. She always had So much to give home, work, play, church you name it and you Could always feel the welcome from her very heart. We’ve had So many conversations about so many things, it is hard to reflect
That she’ll no longer be there physically. She was so brave and
Put on such a wonderful front. Only you Bob know the difficulties
She endured. It was a surprise after seeing her in June.
Our Love to You Robert and Your Family. It was Stephen who
Just returned from his job in Canada, that informed us of Arlene’s Passing. I guess it was communicated to him via the Kof C’s an Organization she certainly gave much time too.
Once again Our Love and Prayers are with you.
Elsie and Stephen Martin,
Cherokee Village, Ar.

Uncle Bob,
Although not blood relatives, you and Aunt Arlene have always been a huge part of our lives. Auntie Arlene will be missed greatly, it is obvious that she had touched many lives and left them with a lasting impression.
Know that she and Dad are "upstairs" keeping an eye on all of us. We are here for you and the boys and their families.
Our love,
Paul, Cathie, Sarah and Joshua Kukec

Bob and Family,
Arlene was such a great person, always smiling and thinking about others before
herself. Everyone adored her and she will
be missed by all. She is the one who got us to join the Women's Auxillary
for the Knights Of Columbus and got us
to come to Bunco. She was loved by everyone. You have a lifetime of memories that all of you have shared together. With Sympathy Jim & Joann Farley

Arlene was such a lovely woman. We enjoyed visiting with her at Ryan and Elenas wedding and she was so happy that day! Our sympathy to all the Gleason family.

love Dottie and Mike Cadwell family

To my Brother Bob, and nephews Kevin & Mark - although I cannot experience your grief first-hand, my sorrow and sadness is profund. Arlene was a tremendous part of the entire family! She always thought of everyone else first and was such a joy to be with! We will miss her special bright spirit [but will always feel 'it' with us]. The memories of the years of great times will be with us forever.

With much love, Jeannie

My Auntie Arlene. My God Mother - more like my "fairy" God Mother. I adored you. You were the most wonderful person to know and I am especially honored to have you as MY Aunt. I will miss you more than words can describe!
All my love Sandy - [I will treasure all those memories and pictures from the past!]

Arlene was a lovely, gracious woman. She will be greatly missed. Know that all of you are in my thoughts and prayers. Sr. Susan Kienzler

Arlene was so very special to our family, She was always so kind and loving. May you always remember what a blessing she was to everyone, and may that comfort you. She will be missed...Our Deepest Sympathy...The Van Leer Family

Offering our deepest condolences during this difficult time.

Bob and Family: We share your grief. Arlene was a bright light in Westmont for many years. You both welcomed our family warmly when we move to Westmont almost 30 years ago, and encouraged Carl, Sr to run successfully for District #210 School Board. Our prayers are with you as you mourn the loss of Arlene. Love and Prayers.

Bob and Family: Arlene was such a wonderful woman and will be sorely missed. We will pray for you and your family during this difficult time. God will watch over you.

You will be greatly missed Mrs. Gleason. I still can't call you Arlene, because you were like a second mom to me. Words cannot express the happiness you have brought me, from your kind words, to your great humor!! (Not to mention that you made an AWESOME roast beef and mashed potatoes!)You are truly ne of the kindest and most loving person I have ever met. I miss you....

Bob and Family: No words can fully express our deepest sympathy to each of you who loved Arlene. Remember that love never ends and memories remain forever. Her bright spirit will always be with you. May God continue to keep you under His sheltering arms.
