Deepest condolences to the whole family and friends of Arlene. I’ve known the Lindsay family for 56 years as we grew up in the same neighborhood. I remember when I first met Arlene - she was only 4 years old, long brown curls and tiny freckles across her little nose. She was so shy! Arlene grew up into a beautiful, kind, and insightful woman and I was blessed to have known her all this time. She will truly be forever missed by everyone who knew her.

In 2002/2003 my family was posted to London Ontario. I was 5 at the time and we moved into a house a few blocks away from Arlene. My dad was deployed to Afghanistan, and my mom needed child care for me. A neighbour referred her to a woman that lived near by that could help. And that’s how Arlene came into my life. Arlene would walk to my house early in the morning, and we’d then walk over to her house, where she’d make me breakfast (which was usually cereal because I was too picky) and watch SpongeBob cartoons before heading to school. I spent my mornings and afternoons with Arlene, every day for the years that we lived there. Her and I would go next door to her parents house, which I always loved. Her parents felt like my grandparents in a way, and would always be happy to see me, treats and cookies in hand.
I’m now 27, and I made it a plan a few months ago to try and locate Arlene. I tracked down an old neighbor, but sadly she didn’t remember me. I found someone else who knew Arlene and told me she was living in the same house, but didn’t know the address or have any contact information. I spent hours on google maps, and I finally found her little house on the short street close to that apartment building I vaguely remembered. I figured I would be in Ontario at some point in the near future, and I would show up on Arlene’s front door step, and surprise her.
When I was sent Arlene’s obituary, my heart sank. I stared at her photo for a while, which brought me back to the days we’d walk hand in hand, laughing and singing. She was always smiling and full of light, just like her beautiful photo.
Arlene, I’m sorry I didn’t track you down sooner. If I had, I would have told you how you made those years in an unfamiliar place better than they ever could have been. You showed me what true care is, and set an example of parenting that I will use with my own children. As a stubborn kid, you taught me lessons of kindness and patience, and I will always be grateful for our time together. You truly became part of my family.
I pictured showing up on your door step with the picture of us I’ve kept, sitting down for tea, and catching you up on the past 20 years.
You touched the lives of many, mine included. Rest peacefully.

Nikki, what a sweet wonderful post about Arlene. It warmed our hearts to hear your story. That was Arlene. So sweet and kind and she loved you. We just came across some of your artwork she kept of yours. I'd love to email it to you if you're interested. She would often wonder how you and your family were doing. We're so blessed to have her as part of our lives. Thank you again for sharing your story.

Arlene was an absolute gem. She was kind, easy going and genuine. She was a friend that could always be relyed on. Our dogs were like her babies and she took such good care of them. My son without fail had to stop in to see Arlene and the cats every Halloween. We were so lucky to have her as a part of our lives.

Arlene was truly a kind and caring person. She was so giving with a warm and lovely genuine smile. I was grateful to have her as a neighbour. She helped me many times getting over the rough patches.My boys truly cared deeply for her and her generous spirit. She really made deep impact on all of our lives.

We were deeply saddened to hear of Arlene's passing. Arlene was so thoughtful, always remembering to send cards with little notes from "The Lindsay Girls" on special occasions. Our love and condolences go out to her family and friends at this difficult time.
Aunt Colleen and cousin Kelly.

Thank you Aunt Arlene for being nice, sweet and sincere to me. I felt your good heart the moment i met you last year. You were joyful and cheerful, and i easily felt at ease with you. Thank you for accepting me in your family! I will miss you! I was hoping to see you in May, but maybe we will just see each other again in God’s time. Rest in peace Aunt Arlene! Love you! ❤️

I was so shocked to hear about my lovely Niece, Arlene. I'd spoken to her often over the phone to hear the latest about "The Lindsay Girls" She was certainly loved by her parents and her sisters and their families. I will miss her gentle voice and always her 'up' attitude.
Aunt Irene

So shocked to hear of Arlene's passing. I remember making a trip to London several years ago with my mom (Irene Clout), my sister and aunt Colleen. We showed up at the door, after taking a taxi so we could have a few drinks...and Arlene had the table all set for tea. It quickly turned into a party. She was so friendly and welcoming, and easy to see she was clearly loved by her family. I am so sorry for your loss.

Gone way too soon, going to Miss my Aunt Arlene very much as will my dog Daisy who always had to go and sit on her back patio after going out and let out an excited howl to let Arlene know she's waiting for her treats ❤️
