Arline Lucy Tortu

Arline was born on May 14, 1935 in Camden, New Jersey. She was the daughter of the late Honorable Anthony F Marino and Mae Marino. She was preceded in death by her two sons Nicholas and Tivo. She is survived by Dino Tortu Sr. of New Jersey; sons Dino Tortu Jr. of Las Vegas and Anthony Tortu and girlfriend Ava of Las Vegas; daughter Lucia (Dan) Wiesner of De Pere, WI; and granddaughter Katie Wiesner. She also leaves behind the family dogs, Parker, Bubba, Lulu and Poncho.

Arline was a graduate of Camden Catholic High School class of 1954, where she enjoyed being head majorette. She later went on to modeling school and became a model. Her love of fashion was evident in her great sense of style.

She was an excellent cook and spent most of her time in the kitchen. She loved entertaining in her Cinnaminson home, backyard barbecues by the pool and large family gatherings around the holidays.

She enjoyed traveling and was blessed to have visited many beautiful places around the world.

Some of her fondest memories were summers spent down at the Jersey Shore.

What brought her the most joy in life was spending time with family. She was a devoted mother who lived for her children. She was also known for her kindness to others.

Arline is already dearly missed and will remain in our hearts forever.

A private memorial service and a celebration of her life will be held at a later date.
