Arlene Braver

May 31st, 2026

Arlene was the personification of class. There are so many adjectives that I could use, but all I have to say is that she was very sweet, very kind, her smile and her eyes could light up a room, she was sensitive and caring and I have so many wonderful memories with here that this could not contain. I was her hairdresser for just about 50 years and she was a delight every week when she came in. Everyone and I mean everyone in the various places I worked, and for the 31 years I had my own Salon, was in love with her. She was a great personal friend of my immediate family, which I am very happy to say and very proud of. She will be missed for the rest of my life, especially every Friday morning at 10:30. Sleep well Arlene. You had a great life. You touched so many lives. And I hope you are smiling.💔
