Condolences
The family of Arlene Lorraine Fuchs has received the following condolences.
I am so sad to hear about Arlene. She was in the same place my parents were in Kasson until they move to Rochester now a few years ago. I would always give her a bad time and she would do the same. We had great laughs and I remember her growing up in Byron all my life as a kid getting candy from her and she helped me with coins. What a delightful person and now we have another angel watching over all of us. My thoughts and prayers are with the entire family. Don Caulfield of San Diego CA

I am so sorry to hear of Arlene's passing. Both my husband and I had the pleasure of working with Arlene in our high school and college years at the grocery store in Byron. She was the sweetest lady and a gem to work with. Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time.

To The Fuchs Family,
My thoughts and prayers are with you. Arlene was a wonderful person and parent. I remember her being so supportive of her children especially Tresa whom I coached in basketball. Arlene always had a twinkle in her eye and a warm smile to greet me.
God bless her.
