Beautifully precious lady 💗
Arlene and John were amazingly beautiful at Winterfield Methodist. They inspired and totally loved my family. We benefited and grew from that Big love.
Arlene with John’s beautiful assistance guided my children by showing them the best of life. Jordan loved to mimic Arlene in folding clothes and making pizza, in John with his brain- little note pad, overalls and cow flannel- plaid shirt.
I loved my kids copied the Best of The Best!!!
I know we are better Christians and people because of their precious love.
Amen💗💙
Ms. Arlene Koch was a good friend if my mother, Mary Schochler, also a member of Winterfield Methodist Church. Ms. Koch was also one of my Home EC teachers as well at LHS. I can remember going to her house with my mom and getting more instructions on sewing and cooking. I have recipes in her handwriting as well. She was a very good friend and mentor. So sorry for your loss and wish you all well. Sue Ann Schochler Brooks of Poetry, Texas.
She was the reason I graduated high school. Long story behind that statement, but trust me, she changed my life! She was the picture of caring, and compassion to me. I truly loved that woman for her just being her. Wish I could have talked to her so many years after her touching my life.
