Condolence: Arlene Rutkowski, better known to me as grandma, always had an open door and a cupboards full of windmill cookies. Kind heart and soft spoken, could always make you smile when pulling you in for a whisper in your ear or a kiss on your cheek. The most patient and genuinely caring person I’ve ever met. We are all better to have been blessed to have you in our lives and to call you great grandma, grandma, mom, wife, aunt, friend etc. We have comfort knowing you’re with loved ones and watching over us. We love you!

Condolence: I was truly blessed to have Arlene as my mother in law, never a kinder more loving soul than her. We all became better people by seeing her interact with others, a sincere caring attitude toward all. I will miss her greatly and love her always.

Condolence: Hi Mom 💕 I was sitting in the early evening closing my eyes thinking of you in a prayer. My hair fluffed with a breeze. I opened my eyes to see a beautiful cardinal right in the tree in front of me. I know your love of cardinals & what we believe them to be. I know you were letting me know that you’re ok & at peace. We will miss everything about you mom but you have taught us about life, living & love. Your legacy is ours. Until we meet again you’re in my heart forever 💕

Condolence: Grandma Arlene was the absolute sweetest, most generous, kindest soul I’ve ever encountered. She had a way about her where just her presence made you always feel important and special and so loved. Everyone that met her just adored her. She leaves behind a lot of broken but grateful hearts. She truly was one of a kind. Rest In Peace Grandma, we love you. We’ll never stop looking for cardinals. ❤️
