Arlene was married to William Earl Greer who proceeded her in death. To this union four sons were born. Arlene worked many years at Milan Army Arsenal in Milan, TN.
Arlene was passionate about landscaping. Guests at her home marveled at her beautiful flowers and large plants. She affectionately referred to her plants as her “kids.” When she was in good health, if you drove down 32nd & Priscilla Ave., you would find her enjoying and caring for her “kids.”
Arlene also loved to shop. She was a regular at Catherine’s and owned every dress in their inventory. Arlene would not be caught in the same dress more than once! To the surprise of many, she was also a regular online shopper.
Arlene expressed her love in many ways. One of the ways she expressed love was through cooking and feeding others. She was the best cook! Her famous potato salad was frequently requested and a family favorite.
