She also would recall her time spent in the cotton fields picking cotton alongside several of her cousins. Arlene was an avid gardener, still growing a garden into her 80’s. She also loved flowers and come spring it was time to plant several varieties to enjoy all summer long. Her favorite pastime was watching her favorite bird, the cardinal, at her birdfeeder. The grandkids will always remember going to Grandmas for breakfast, looking forward to homemade biscuits and her specialty, COCOA. It was also called chocolate gravy, but to the kids, just yummy cocoa. Arlene leaves behind her children, Dolores Sellers, Larry Kline, Carolyn Lester and Kathy Kline.
