Arline Williams Obituary - Visitation & Funeral Information

Reno, NV Arline B. Williams, 54, died Sunday, September 19, 2010, peacefully at her home with her son and sister by her side. Arline courageously battled Cancer from 1999 until her passing. She was born in Bangor, Maine on June 25, 1956, the daughter of Rodney F. Williams and Muriel Mallach Williams. Arline was given nothing in life but gave everything. She learned to be such a strong woman at a very tender age. She was raised as an orphan; never knowing of any other family member, other than her sister Alice and longed to find family to call her own. She was bounced around orphanages and foster homes in the state of Maine until moving to New Hampshire with her sister in 1975. She raised her son as a proud single parent in Claremont, NH until 1997, when she and her son relocated to Reno, Nevada, where Arline worked for IGT for several years. She was an accomplished entrepreneur with many business ventures including, but not limited to: Two Gal's Video, Drive Magazine, Homeliner$ and most notably, the original co-owner and co-publisher of The Weekly Flea which she successfully brought to the Reno, NV area. She is survived by her proud son Damien, her loving sister Alice Williams Beaudry and her five beloved nieces and nephews: Craig, Mark, Dustin, Jill and Julie Beaudry. She also had several great nieces whom she adored. She loved life, being a mother, traveling with her nieces and nephews, going to thrift shops, yard sales, knitting & crocheting scarves and blankets for her family and friends, and truly appreciated the little things in life. She had a fun personality and made all children she met feel at ease. She never complained about yesterday but was simply thankful for each waking day. Her laughter was contagious and her beautiful smile will always be remembered. A Celebration of her Life will be held on Sunday, September 26, from 4-6 pm at The Roy Funeral Home, 93 Sullivan Street, Claremont, NH, A Memorial Service will be held at 5:00 PM during the time of Celebration, with the Rev. Scott Kearns, officiating. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made in her name to "The Children's Cabinet" 1090 South Rock Boulevard, Reno, NV 89502. Arrangements have been entrusted to the Roy Funeral Home and Cremation Service.
