Arlene Mayhugh

In Hammond, Indiana

Passed into Eternal Life, December 11, 2019

Newport Beach, California

Arlene was a loving and compassionate wife, mother, and grandmother.

She graduated from Olivet Nazarene University with specialties in business and elementary education.

She was an elementary school teacher, and was a consummate hostess for friends, church groups, and students at Pasadena College (now Point Loma Nazarene University). She always credited her hostess skills to mentors Lois Brown and Hazel Lee.

She was a great cook, continuing the Mayhugh tradition of Southern comfort food. She was a member of Pasadena First Church of the Nazarene and worshiped at Coast Hills Community Church until her illness worsened. She thoroughly enjoyed participating in a women’s bible study. She was a part of a group that initiated Women’s ministries at her Pasadena Church.

During her long illness, she sang hymns and chorus’, on key and with recall of all verses, something many dementia patients often experience. For her family, and caregivers, this was a blessing.

More importantly, she loved the Lord and is with Him now.

She is survived by her devoted husband Dr. Sam, son Todd, son and daughter-in-law Dr. Brian and Terri Mayhugh, and grandsons Capt. Andrew and Nathan.
