Obituary of Arlene McGinnis

On a sunny, bright Wednesday afternoon, June 24, 2015, our beautiful mother, grandmother, great-grandmother and friend took her last breath on earth, spread her beautiful wings and took flight to all those so eager to hold her in Heaven. Arlene Stella McGinnis was born Aug. 18, 1935, in International Falls. Arlene was an incredible human being. Her talents were huge; she had the ability to love all, forgive all and to judge no one. She was a true artist of painting, writing, stepping stone and listening to music and making any gathering a party. Arlene's greatest love was in her Lord Jesus Christ and lived everyday by his example. Her beautiful Gypsy Soul will carry on for generations. And as Mom would say, "Put some lipstick on you'll be just fine." A GATHERING OF FAMILY AND FRIENDS: 1 until 2 p.m. service Saturday, July 11, in the Cremation Society of Minnesota, 4100 Grand Ave., Duluth, (218) 624-5200.
