We are sorry for your loss Dave & Joyce Roche
Arlyene was such a genuinely sweet and caring person. She was such support and professional in the school office. She helped us many times when we were just young and had moved to Hartville. We pray for Gods comfort at this time of loss. There is a reunion going on in heaven. Keith and Millie Pellham
Arlyene was always so very sweet and refined every time I saw her. She was a woman of great strength and love and she will be deeply missed. My most heartfelt thoughts and prayers go to the family during this time of loss.

We will miss Grandma Rippee. Lots of great memories thru the years. Hanging out in her office at school, baseball in the backyard, the list goes on. We're very glad that Thomas got to meet his great grandma. We know she is at peace with grandpa in heaven.
Arlyene and I shared the joy of collecting angels. Last Christmas she gave me my most cherished angels - ones she had made. They were a 3-piece, 1 foot, white ceramic set. Just beautiful! But, more then angels, she loved her grandchildren, all seven of them! And then came along her three great grandchildren, and they were just the "apple of her eye!" When they would come to visit at the nursing home, she would perk up, and laugh and smile! Everyone loved Arlyene, and Arlyene loved everyone. I loved Arlyene...I will miss our Sunday night visits very much. I'm so glad you didn't have to suffer much, and now you are in the Arms of God happy and whole.
Arlyene always loved collecting angels - now she is one! She was a wonderful Grandma who loved playing wiffle ball in the backyard with her grandchildren and board games on the floor inside. She made the best fried chicken, deviled eggs, pickles, green beans, mashed potatoes, apple pie, meatballs & gravy, divinity, cinnamon rolls... We have many, many wonderful memories in our hearts forever! I'm sure she will have a blast hunting Easter eggs in heaven with Grandpa - and Marie :)
