BELLVILLE: A sense of humor is needed armor in life. Joy in one’s heart and a little laughter on the lips is a sign that deep down, the person has a pretty good grasp on life. Arline Bixler lightened life with one-liners and her sharp wit. Described as entertaining and funny, she could put a comic twist on any situation.
