W. Arleen Braun, 94, of Wexford Pa passed away on Sept 2, 2018. Daughter of Alfred Nicholas and Pansy Laverne Von Pein and sister to Donald, Eugene, and Clifford Von Pein and Wanda (Fritz) Brant. Also preceded in death by her husband of 37 years, James A Braun. Mother of Bruce A. Braun and Beverly (Paul) Domasky; doting grandmother of Emily (Christian)Locher, Paulson (Stephanie) Domasky, Audrey and Allison, Jaxson, and Colby Jax. Arleen was so proud to have served in the United States Navy during WWII. She then worked several secretarial jobs including Duff's, and Wright Pontiac. After the full time job raising her two children and beloved dog Trudy, she relished the opportunity to work at Bradford Hills Veterinary Hospital and then seasonally at Sea Base Camp in the Florida Keys. She loved wintering in the Florida Keys at Venture Out, Cudjoe Key and later their home on Big Pine Key. She stayed very active there with her church and took long walks, hiked, went bike riding, and canoeing through the canals with friends. She swam in their backyard daily and enjoyed the gorgeous sunsets every evening. She started travelling and going on mission trips at the ripe young age of 73 and enjoyed her trips well into her eighties. Arleen was a member of North Way Christian Community for 30 yrs; active in L.A.M.P, Kidz, Bible studies, Prayer Groups, Greeter, Missions, Stuffers, and Seniors Group to name a few. She also was a member of the local A.G.L.O.W for many years. Our family wishes to especially recognize Yvonne, Emilina and Eric for their care and support over the last 5 years as well as the entire amazing team of caregivers at Paramount Senior Living Community for the past 3 years. Donations can be directed to North Way Christian Community designated to the L.A.M.P. ministry to benefit students in the Homewood Community or in lieu of a financial donation, give someone a hug and a kind word in honor of Arleen.
