Arlene K Newman's Obituary
On January 19, 2020, Arlene K. Newman passed away peacefully surrounded by her family. Born to Irma and Herman Kluger on January 10, 1934, Arlene was raised in White Plains, New York and attended Emerson College and eventually Boca Raton..
Arlene loved fashion, theatre, playing the piano, ballroom dancing, Jeopardy and scrabble. She was a travel agent for many years and her passion was traveling the world. Thirty-five years ago, Arlene moved to Boca Raton, FL to be by the water and became a real estate agent.
Fifteen years ago, Parkinson's disease changed her life but she was strong and determined not to allow it to take over. And, it didn't. She was a fighter, brave, feisty, and had a great sense of humor. Determined as ever til the end.
Arlene is survived by her daughters, Maxine Siegel of Washington, DC, Jayne Benjamin of Boca Raton and Karen Nathan (Ron) of Palm City, her grandchildren who she was so proud of, Joe Benjamin (Yasi), Alex Benjamin (Cara), Jenna Muller and Jake Muller and her amazing caregiver, Mazie Harris and her daughter Toya.to whom we are forever grateful to.
