Sharon Symonds wrote a sympathy message

“Rest in Peace Arlene. I miss you. Arlene came to work at Pioneer and I was lucky to be her supervisor. She was a hard worker and had a great sense of humor. We remained friends away from the office. Had many good times over lunch. I know Arlene was tired and ready for peace. Love you my friend. Sharon Symonds”
