STUART, V. Arlene Anne – 76, of Truro, passed away peacefully on Sept. 7, 2017 at the Victoria General Hospital in Halifax surrounded by her family.

Arlene loved her weekly gatherings with her Bridge girls, time spent with her special friends both locally and in Florida, and her special Bulldogs. Long weekend drives in the direction where the sun was shining with the matching hats in the convertible was also one of her favourite things to do.

She loved entertaining in many ways, be it her impromptu sing songs at the piano to being a member of her band at Embassy Park. Arlene volunteered a large portion of her time to many aspects of the local hospital including Auxiliary, Hub Bub, Gift Shop and numerous planning committees. Over the years she also enjoyed time spent with the Marigold Guild of Needle Arts, Red Hats, Lions Club, Kinsman Club and Gyro Club.
