Arlene Wiggins Young, 95, passed away peacefully on May 6, 2017. Arlene was born on December 11, 1921, in Lancaster, PA, and graduated from Sullins College in 1942. She was an active member of the Lancaster community for many years. In 1972 she moved to Stuart, FL, where she was a longtime member of the Miles Grant Country Club and the Peace Presbyterian Church. Arlene had three wonderful marriages (Robert D. Frey, Raymond T. Brogan, and Roland G.C. Young), each of which brought her a renewed vigor of life.
Arlene acquired the nickname "The Egg Lady" because of her beloved hobby creating and designing Faberge style eggs. This unique hobby led to an invitation to appear on The Today Show in 1964, where she presented Barbara Walters with a special egg that was later seen next to Barbara's bed on a Barbara Walters TV special. She also loved any type of needlework, from needlepoint to knitting she was always working with her hands creating blankets and wall hangings that her family will cherish always.
Arlene was a sweet and thoughtful woman that lived life to the fullest and will be deeply missed by everyone she knew. Arlene is survived by her daughter, Barbara Frey MacBride; granddaughters: Melissa M. Kelley, Heather N. MacBride, and Kimberly M. Frankenfield; grandsons: Adam C. Frey and Wesley J. Frey; and great-grandchildren: Matthew M. Kelley, Bradley M. Kelley, Elizabeth B. Frankenfield, and Riley A. Frankenfield. She is preceded in death by her son R. Dexter Frey, Jr., son-in-law Arthur J. MacBride III, Robert D. Frey, Raymond T. Brogan, and Roland G.C. Young.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Children's Heart Foundation, Arthur MacBride Memorial Research Fund, P.O. Box 244, Lincolnshire, IL 60069. www.childrensheartfoundation.org or The Peace Presbyterian Church, 4881 SE Cove Rd., Stuart, FL 34997. Services: A memorial service will be celebrated at a later date in Stuart, FL. We love you 58 Nanny
