Arlene will also be remembered by many students for her work in several of the Anson County school cafeterias. Survivors include her daughter, Vickie Martin of Wadesboro; son, Darrell Martin (Karen) of Peachland; and three grandchildren, Max, Mason and Mia Martin. In addition to her parents and husbands, she was preceded in death by two brothers, Don Allred and Buddy Allred. The family wishes to thank both the nursing staff on the Rehabilitation Hall and the members of the Rehabilitation Dept. at Autumn Care for their wonderful care and concern shown to Miss Arlene during her stay. The family would also like to thank Vera Cash for being the most special caregiver!
