Arlene Zanchuck Obituary

I miss this dear friend so much! She was a gem! She had a way of making you feel like you were the most precious person on the earth. She was always blessing others in such special ways.

Just thinking about this wonderful lady makes me smile!

You are now an angel watching over us. I will see you in the beautiful sunsets as you always slept in for the sunrises. This light is for you.

This incredible woman left her mark on so, so many who loved her dearly. She was an inspiration to all.She actually babysat Eleanor Biaggini when Eleanore was 11 years old..... this from Arlene a few years ago when we visited her at her home. She was a dear friend of Cora and Corina Negrati. Eleanoe and Kathleen knew her well when they lived with their grandmother and aunt to attend Mission School. That was a long, long time ago. She worked at hill's stationery with Cora Negranti. The world is a bit lesser a place now. How blessed we are to have known her and call her our friend. May she rest in peace.

Our condolences on Arlene's passing. May she rest in eternal peace.

Mrs. Zanchuk, Arlene, was a bright, humble, and loving spirit. My mother and Arlene were friends and she would always remark what a wonderful person Arlene was. There was something special about her and one knew it the moment she spoke; there was a kindness in her voice that was simply unexplainable. It isn't often one meets such a person. I consider myself lucky for having known her. There is a special place in heaven for such people. Go in peace, Arlene.

Every time we met she always made me feel special and loved. The world is a better place because she was here,

A beautiful and amazing lady. This woman was one of the greats. The world is a poorer place now. RIP Arlene.

It was always wonderful to speak with you on the phone and get your cards. I wish we had had a chance to get re-acquainted and have dinner together! Thank you for your kindness and amazing spirit. We love you, Arlene! Love, your cousin Susan (also, on behalf of my mother, Marian Pedrotta Buley)

Arlene was my dear friend,along with Wendy Lima since 1972 when we all worked together at Hills Stationary Store. We have gotten together every year since then and had numerous phone conversations . My heart has been so enriched by knowing her and I will miss my dear lady friend. I feel so blessed by having you in my life all these years. I will cherish our memories forever.

Arlene had a profound effect on the local NAMI group. I met her there 12 years ago, and she was always positive and encouraging. A dear friend who will be missed.

We always enjoyed knowing Arlene. She was a joy. Last Christmas we stopped by her house so my husband, aka, Santa stopped to wish her a Merry Christmas. It was with great joy to see her smile and give her hugs. Arlene will always be remembered with love and great memories. Frank and Roberta Kassak
