Arlene E. Berner
Arlene E. Berner, 86, passed away
peacefully with her family by her side on Thursday (March 31, 2011)
at Lemay Avenue Health and Rehab Center in Ft. Collins.
She was born on Aug. 23, 1924, in
Newton to Hermas and Esther (Tangeman) Eby.
Arlene was a homemaker personified.
Those who knew her well remember her devotion to her family and
church. She was a magnificent cook and baker and had a way of making
every family gathering and holiday memorable. To be invited to her
table was a treat not soon forgotten. Her home was a place where
girls were taught to be gracious hosts and boys were taught
impeccable manners. She loved singing in the choir and sunny days on
the patio surrounded by her beautiful flowers. Arlene leaves behind a
legacy of love, fond memories and cherished traditions.
She is survived by her beloved husband
of 68 years, Earl E. Berner; son, Bruce Berner and his wife, Suzanne;
daughter, LaRita Clark; son-in-law, Phillip Millard and his wife,
Helen; sister, Alberta King; eight grandchildren; and 13
great-grandchildren.
She was preceded in death by her
daughter, Shari Millard, and son-in-law, Stanley Clark.
Services include a viewing from 5 to 8
p.m. today at Adamson Chapel in Greeley; a funeral service at 2 p.m.
Tuesday at Greeley Wesleyan Church, 3600 22nd St. in Greeley; and
internment at Sunset Memorial Gardens. Memorial contributions may be
