Arlene Joan Plasil

December 12, 1933 – April 22, 2025.

It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of Arlene Joan Plasil, beloved wife, mother, grandmother, and friend, at the age of 91. Arlene passed away peacefully in Lisle, IL, where she had made her home most of her adult life. She was born on December 12, 1933, in Chicago, IL, and spent much of her life surrounded by family and close friends.

Arlene was preceded in death by her loving husband, Charles Joseph "Bucky" Plasil, with whom she shared many years of happiness. Their bond was one of love and devotion, and she cherished every moment they had together.

She is survived by her children: Charles Plasil Jr. (Yan), Becky (Steven) Zarlenga, and Linda (William) Grifo. Arlene’s legacy lives on through her grandchildren: [Christy, Didi Plasil], [Christopher, Robert, David Nietzold, Stephanie Zarlenga], [Michael, Nicholas, and Emily Gray]. She was a proud and loving grandmother and a great grandmother, always eager to spend time with her grandchildren and great-grandchildren and offer them guidance and love.

Arlene was a passionate gardener, finding joy in tending to her plants and flowers. Her love for nature was only rivaled by her devotion to her family. She was a kind, generous, and caring woman who made a lasting impact on everyone she met. Her family was her world, and she always put the needs of her loved ones first.

A celebration of her life will be held on 05-13-2025 at 4-8PM, at Blake Lamb Funeral Home/Lisle. Funeral service will be held 5-14-2025 beginning at 10:30 AM with a procession to follow to Clarendon Hills Cemetery for burial.

Arlene will be remembered for her unwavering love, warmth, and the way she touched the hearts of all who knew her. She will be deeply missed but never forgotten.
