She was born Aug. 5, 1925, in Lewiston, one of 15 children born to Guy and Myrtle (Stevens) Burgess Sr. Arlene attended school in Lewiston and Leeds. She worked for Twin City Printery in Lewiston for 30 years, retiring in 1990. She loved going camping at Small Point with her family, growing flowers and feeding the birds, especially the “hummers.” She also enjoyed doing puzzles and receiving any kind of chocolate candy. We will miss her little grins and beautiful smile.
