Arlene Hughes
Arlene (Thompson) Hughes,90, of Palmyra, passed away peacefully on Tuesday, February 7, 2017, at Spang Crest in Lebanon. She was born May 25, 1926 in Reading to the late Boyd Lester Thompson and Eva (Lineaweaver) Thompson. She was predeceased in death by her loving husband of 63 years, Irvin E. Hughes.
She graduated from Reading High School in 1943 and spent her life loving and serving her family and church. She was a member of First United Methodist Church where she served as secretary for 15 years and was instrumental in the vitality of the church. She was active in the youth fellowship, Married Couples classes and was always lending a helping hand.
As a young woman, she was active in the Palmyra Women's Club. She had an amazing talent and skill for traditional oil painting, and many of her works can be seen in the homes of her family. She loved golfing, crabbing at Stone Harbor, fishing, attending her grandchildren's sporting and musical events, listening to operettas, traveling, and attending Hershey Park events. She was known to be the life of the party and valued making lasting memories with family and friends. Being a wife and mother was the most important thing to her. Later in life the joys of being a grandmother and great-grandmother were immeasurable. Her zest for life, caring soul, and loving nature will be missed by all who knew her.
She is survived by a daughter, Sandra McKinley and husband Daniel of Palmyra; two grandchildren, Jason McKinley and wife Jaime, and Kelly Snyder and husband Skylar; four great-grandchildren, Connor, Jackson, Luke, and Kayla; a brother, Bernard Thompson and wife Grace of Reading, and a sister-in-law, Reba Thompson, of Reading. She was predeceased by three brothers, Leon "Smoky", Walter, and Richard Thompson.
