Arlene was born July 16, 1918 in Cleveland, OH, the only child of Frank and Clover Branch. She spent her childhood in Geneva, OH, graduating as Valedictorian of her high school class. Arlene earned a BA in chemistry with Phi Beta Kappa honors from the College of Wooster (Ohio). She then worked as a medical technologist before marrying Army Lt. Walter G. Klamer on March 21, 1943 at Camp Rucker, AL. After her children were born, Arlene worked as a local radio announcer and employment counselor before beginning her teaching career. Her real calling was as a chemistry and physics teacher in Ohio. Her students earned state awards for research and many later had careers in scientific fields. In 1965 Arlene received her MA in chemistry from the University of Idaho. After retirement she and Walt moved to Fenton to be near their daughter Nancy and family. Both became members of the First Presbyterian Church of Fenton and sang in the choir. In 1990 they moved to Sun City Center, FL to escape Michigan winters. After Walt died Arlene returned to Fenton. Later she moved to Louisville to be near her son Tom. She enjoyed flower gardening, sea shell collecting, family camping and fishing in northern Ontario and domestic and international travel. Arlene was accomplished at knitting, cross stitching, needle point, quilting and cooking, especially at the holidays. Her greatest passion after retirement was contract bridge and she belonged to several groups in Fenton, Flint and Florida. Arlene's devotion to the game resulted in her becoming a Life Master as awarded by the American Contract Bridge League. In 1983 she was a three day winner on television's Wheel of Fortune.
Surviving are: son, Dr. Thomas (Rochelle) Klamer; daughter, Nancy (Bion) Hoeg; grandsons, Bradley (Kristen) Klamer and Brian Klamer; granddaughter, Dr. Karin (John) Rampton; and great grandsons, Alex and Tom Rampton. Arlene was preceded in death by her husband, Walter and granddaughter, Alison (Hoeg) Schoenherr. Those desiring may make donations to the First Presbyterian Church of Fenton.
