Born March 20, 1958 in Montreal, Que., to Bob and Betty Ann Dextras. Arlene grew up in Montreal, a city she loved, and where she was educated and began her working career. Besides her parents, Arlene is survived by her loving son and daughter, Christopher and Aynsley; sisters, Cheryl and Donna. She is also survived by longtime friend, Jamie Swansburg. She was a firecracker – an artistic person with a great sense of humor. Apart from being a crossword puzzle enthusiast, Arlene loved to sing and dance. She was always ready with a quick joke and was the life of the party. She was truly a joy to those who were lucky enough to know her.
