Arlene was an avid and accomplished bird watcher, having made several official sightings of rare birds in Ohio, and participated in the annual bird census for the National Audubon Society.

Surviving are her husband of 57 years, Jerry Lee Wymer; four daughters, DeeAnne Wymer, Lori (Dennis) Ciesinski, Linda Sue (Russell) Mason and Janet Kay (Jerrold) Thaler, foster daughter Connie Ish; six grandchildren, Neal, Bryan, Christopher, Chad, Nicholas, and Matthew; and two great-grandchildren.
