Arline was raised and educated in Clymer, N.Y., where she graduated from Clymer Central School in 1940.

Following her marriage, she lived on the State Line Road a number of years before moving to the Corry area. Her priority was raising and caring for her family. She then worked at the Clymer Bag Company and other various places of employment before retiring from Elgin Electronics in 1978, after 15 years of service.

Arline and her husband spent several winters in Bushnell, Fla., following their retirement. She enjoyed crocheting, embroidery, flower gardening and camping. Arline learned how to swim in her 50’s and swam at the YMCA every day for several years.
