She had a long tenure with Rural Metro Fire Department before training as a Certified Nursing Assistant. Arlene retired from St. Mary's Hospital. Arlene was an engaging personality. Apart from Work, she raised four children and me and married her soul-mate, Dwayne Bee. She had a deep fondness for sewing, gardening, medieval history, and cooking. She was known for her holiday parties and wonderful baking. She was preceded in death by her husband Dwayne and her son John. She leads the way for son Jarvis Baldwin and Daughters Suzann Baldwin and Rosemary Hodo. She will also be remembered by friends, family, and the numerous people whose lives she touched. They are not long, the days of wine and roses: Out of a misty dream Our path emerges for a while then closes Within a dream. Perhaps, most remarkable of all was her faith. Not long before her passing, she reached out and said "Take me Home." Well, She went Home. God bless you Arlene, you are loved. Services Will Be Private
