Arlene was born in Boyne City MI to Carl and Vergia Zinck. She graduated from Boyne City high school and Davenport college. She married Duane in March of 1956 and moved to Wyoming, MI where they raised their 5 children.

Every year in the spring was the family annual trip to Clearwater, Fl to see her mom and dad. They moved to Caledonia, MI in 1977 and then eventually Lowell, MI where she work along side her husband for 15 years at their dime store, Lambert Variety. They retired and moved to Briar Creek community in Safety Harbor, Fl in 1995.

Arlene was exceptionally talented at quilting, painting, sewing, knitting, crocheting and rug hooking as well as many other crafts too numerous to list.

Arlene will be be greatly missed and lovingly remembered by her children; Cindy Starring and Steven Mummaw, Karen and Ed Kohn, Deb and Brian Broekema and Darwin Lambert as well as her grand children, great grand children, her sister Ruth (Percy) Nathan and her dog Snickers.
The number of friends and other family members mourning her passing and celebrating her memory are far too long to list.

So sad to hear hear of Arlene’s passing. Our prayers and co dolences to all her family and friends.
I will always remember Aunt Arlene for her ‘go get em’ attitude. Full of energy and fun. Loved the sun and seafood. I Loved playing cards with her and kept my eye on her at all times. Good memories!
