Arlene Jane Gleba

Arlene J. Gleba (nee Milewski) aka "Luscious" passed away peacefully surrounded by her children on September 21, 2024.

Beloved wife of Joseph W. Gleba; loving mother of Gregory Gleba & his wife Sue, Kristin Schleigh & her husband Lou, daughter in law Cathy Gleba and late son Mark Gleba. Blessed with her grandchildren Mark Jr (Stacey), Bee, Lukas, Angela (Ryan), Casey (Mark) and her first great grandchild Mark Jr. She was preceded in death by her mother Tessie Stanczak Milewski and father Alfred Milewski. Now reunited in heaven with many relatives and friends that she adored. 

Arlene was born and raised in Bridesburg where she loved to shop, ride her bike and talk to everyone she met. She enjoyed thrifting and was a great cook, who unfortunately for us never wrote down her recipes. Arlene was such a kind and generous person, so quick-witted and funny as hell sometimes unintentionally, but most importantly she was as GENUINE as you could be.

Arlene loved her children and grandchildren unconditionally and wanted nothing more than to be with family. She was so lucky to have such a big extended family, with cousins that were like brothers and sisters to her and close friends who all filled her life with beautiful moments, now cherished memories. Her love was felt by all and she had such a positive impact on everyone she met.

Arlene will fovever hold a special place in all our hearts, we will miss you so much lady and as you would always say "good night nurse"!!

 Services and interment will be held privately honoring Arlene's wishes.
