BRO AND SIS OF GARY AND GAIL LEE

Richard and I (Janice) send our sincerest condolences to Arlene's family. We were fortunate to visit with Arlene, Fred, Marilyn and Larry in Wasaga Beach in July. Arlene and Marilyn's parents, Fred and Pearl were very good friends of my parents when they lived on Tolten Avenue in Hamilton during and post WW2. I did not meet Arlene and Shad until I was 19 and travelled to Lahr, Germany in 1974. They were kind enough to give me a soft place to land on my arrival in Germany as I was planning to go to school in the south of Germany for the summer. After that, we did not meet again, but stayed connected through my mother Evelyn Jones, who was the one to write letters and Christmas cards. Arlene always wrote lovely Christmas cards to my mother and sometimes I got to read them when I was home. Arlene and I eventually corresponded via email. She was so kind to my mother during the five years she spent in the nursing home here in Lindsay, Ontario, sending notes and cards on special occasions. She sent lovely flowers for her 100th birthday celebration. Arlene will be always remembered by me as a kind and loving person and she will be greatly missed. Janice and Richard Skinner

My most sincere condolences Cousins Fred, Patti and Sharon. Your Mom was the best Auntie to me. I remember her taking me to the Terra Theatre in CFB Borden to watch "Gone With the Wind"! She was a super fun curling teammate while posted to CFB Calgary. She was my support person to lean on as well when our husbands were away on maneuvers. I will miss her kind, supportive, caring voice and hugs dearly. Blessings to the Shadbolt Family. Lauri Jones

On behalf of my husband David (in care with Alzheimers) and myself I wish to extend my condolences to the Shadbolt family. I served with Shad in Cyprus in 88/89 and first met Arlene when she came over to spend some time with Shad in Nicosia. She was a lovely and kind woman with a great sense of humour and a beautiful smile. David and I were lucky to visit with Shad and Arlene in Mesa in 2013 and they stopped by to see us in Victoria a couple of years later. She will be very much missed.

Arlene: Beautiful, glamorous; a Starr in all our lives, a dear, kind friend, a loving wife and mother. Angels in heaven are singing as they surround you with love. Grateful for your friendship.

Sending our most sincere condolences to your family. Arlene was a kind, considerate and fun loving person who enjoyed life to the fullest. Arlene, you’ve earned your wings and are now in the arms of our Heavenly Father. Rest In Peace. Fran & Chuck Hills

Arlene and Shad became life-long friends in 1989. Through many years of active service and retired life, we kept in touch and visited whenever possible. We send our sympathy and fondest regards as you and your whole family grieve over the passing of Arlene. She was indeed a woman of character and kindness, charming and indeed, loveable. Life has some difficult moments, and we want you all to know that encouraging thoughts are with you as you cope with the loss of such a very special person. We are thankful that we knew her and counted her as a friend. We wish her God’s grace. Please accept our warmest personal regards. Cam and Patti Ross

Condolences to the family, what a great loss. Arlene was a lovely lady. She will be missed but not forgotten. RIP Arlene, your journey has just begun.

Shad, Fred, Patti, Sharon and most loving grandchildren. Our sincere condolence on the loss of your Mom and Grandma.

Words cannot express. sorry for your loss.

Peter and Susan

Our hearts go out to Shad, Patti, Fred, and Sharon and their families. Arlene was THE example of a military spouse and a wife when “off duty”. All but Marg and I especially lost a guiding light and a dear friend.

I will always remember my oldest friend, Arlene and I met as 8 year olds in Quebec. We managed to break Fred's favourite record at that time and rather than own up we buried itu in the garden! We met again in our early teens in Camp Borden the friendship unbroken. After leaving for Germany and us being relocated to the UK we never met again in person but reunited once more via Facebook! Our friendship remained solid. She was the loveliest of people and will always be missed by me. We were 7 months different in age but always close, especially when up to mischief!

Goodbye Arlene. No doubt we'll meet once more.

My Heartfelt Sympathy to Arlene’s Family and Friends. We’ve been friends for many years and shared a table at Stage West for more years than I can remember, She will be greatly missed!!!

Shad, and Fred, Heather, Patti, Sharon, Marilyn, Larry and Family. Please accept our deepest Sympathy for the loss of a great person, ARLENE, who always had your best interest at heart. Will always remember the time of our youth in Calgary, Lahr and points in between. We will Remember.
