Arline had a very outgoing personality, was able to start a conversation with practically anyone, and especially enjoyed socializing with her close friends, “the club”.  She was skilled and creative in the kitchen, trying new ideas regularly, interpreting recipes loosely, and rarely measuring ingredients.  Arline was proud of her Ukrainian heritage, particularly enjoying the holiday food and traditions.  She loved to travel, being especially fond of Caribbean cruises, and loved to talk with others about their travels.  Arline was a fan of classic cars and classic movies, particularly those by Alfred Hitchcock.  A fan of both modern music and oldies, Arline loved musicals and attending outdoor concerts.  She enjoyed shopping and the pursuit of the best deal and was a devoted supporter of any sport or event her children and grandchildren participated in.
