NOTES:
** Arlene also has another half-sister she probably was not aware of. Lois E. [Mullen] Podesta was a daughter born of an affair Arlene's father had while he was still married to her mother. The details of this are written in her father's bio. Also, the 1930 U.S. Census documents Margaret and Lois's surname as HARRISON, with the appropriate relationship to the head of household duly noted as "daughter" and "granddaughter." At the time, they were living with Margaret's parents in Donora, Washington Co., PA.
** Please review the marriage records of Edward and Arlene, which I uploaded to this memorial. There are discrepancies pertaining to both of their birth information that conflict with the information provided in each of their obituaries.
** Arlene's mother's maiden name was incorrectly stated as Elsie Anna [Rishert] Alger in Arlene's obituary. However, I do know where it comes from. Arlene's maternal grandparents were John Frederick and Margarette Barbara [Rishert] Godfrey. Arlene's obituary is shown below.
