Arlene worked for 19 years with Reese Optical, and later retired from Apple Creek Developmental Center after 27 years as a nurse.

She married William Frank Feather on December 31, 1955 into 1956 on New Year’s Eve.

Arlene will be deeply missed by her son Roger W. Feather of Jeromesville, and daughter Joyce L. (Michael) Hyatt of Wooster; grandchildren Mackenzie (Kristopher Davis), Cordell, Jesse, Jagger Hyatt all of Wooster, Ohio; great-grandson Clint Montgomery Hyatt. Also special to her heart are her boy Eddie Swain and Popcorn lady Brenda Litt. Her sister-in-law Mary Lang, brother-in-law Milt Wayland of Big Prairie, and numerous Nieces and Nephews.

Arlene was a beautiful person with a bold personality inside and out. Taking care of her family and extended family was always her purpose. The Wayne County Fair was always her vacation with her sister-in-law Mary Lang, and watching her kids and grandkids shows. Listening to the radio for sports, The Cleveland Indians were her favorite team.  She enjoyed helping her son moving equipment, picking eggs, and raising orphan lambs in her home. Working around her home with her flowers, pulling weeds, and her birds were other pastimes she enjoyed.

In Arlene’s later years, she enjoyed drinking her coffee and watching her neighbors and traffic go by on ST. RT. 95 with her protector Willie, her dog, by her side. Her home was always open to friends and family to gather around her table.

Arlene was preceded in death by her husband in December 1984, parents, brother Harold Lang Jr., and sisters Orene Maurer and Carlyn Wayland.
