BROWNVILLE, NY — Arlene Leeta Youngs Goodfriend, 88, of Brownville, NY, passed away Wednesday evening, Jan. 13, at Samaritan Medical Center, Watertown.
Born Aug. 15, 1927, in Watertown, NY, the daughter of Flossie and Levi Youngs, she graduated from the Watertown City School District.
Arlene married Kenneth J. Goodfriend on Oct. 18, 1945, at Bethany Methodist Parsonage in Watertown.
Mrs. Goodfriend worked as a head cashier at A&P Grocery for many years. She was dedicated and loyal to the A&P and thoroughly enjoyed her time spent with wonderful coworkers who became lifelong friends.
Surviving are two daughters, Sharon A. Alteri, Dianna L. Anderson and her husband, George M. Anderson, Brownville; three grandchildren Tawnya L. Richelieu, Chiara R. Alteri, George K. Anderson; several great-grandchildren; two sisters, Evelyn Hunt and Stella Passage (John); and two brothers, Joseph Youngs (Lorraine) and Phillip Youngs (Barb).
She was predeceased by her husband, Kenneth Goodfriend; a brother, Donald (Bud) Youngs; a sister, Alice Andrews; a sister-in-law, Nancy Youngs; and two brothers-in-law, Leonard Hunt and Fred Andrews.
Arlene will forever be remembered for her joyous, adventurous and generous spirit. She was always there for her family, friends and those in need.
She had a true love for music, especially country and gospel. She played the violin in her high school orchestra and came from a long line of square dancers and fiddlers.
She enjoyed the beauty of nature from a glorious rising sun to the exquisitely beautiful sunset. Her flower gardens were her pride and joy; an inspiration to behold.
Arlene will be endlessly loved and forever missed. May she fly home on angel’s wings.
A spring burial will be planned by the family.
Arrangements are with Johnson Funeral Home, Dexter.
