Arlene L. Haas (nee Miller) of Oakland on Saturday, April 4, 2009. Loving daughter of the late John W. Miller and Ruth May (Gadinger) Miller.
Born in Jamaica, Long Island, New York, she lived in Holbrook, Merrick and East Northport, Long Island before moving to Oakland, New Jersey forty-five years ago.
While in Mepham High School in Belmont, LI, NY Arlene took a great deal of interest and pride in being a majorette and she was involved in competitive roller-skate dancing.
She leaves with many wonderful memories of a very loving wife, mother and grandmother who dedicated her life to her family. One of the highlights in her life was being very close to her granddaughter Lauren. Enjoying her many dance performances, recitals, competitions, sewing costumes and cheering on all members of the King Centre for Performing Arts. Arlene was so alive and in love with life and she was in turn loved by many who knew her. She found much joy in the goodness and caring for the people she loved.
Arlene had a wonderful sense of humor and a vast array of hobbies including watching auto racing, a sporting interest she got from her father who was a racecar driver, and she drove a 1967 red corvette for many years. She also enjoyed painting, bowling, Girl Scout Leader, softball coaching, NJ Devils fan, member of the Harmony Singers, flower arranging, crocheting and many other arts and crafts.
Arlene and Bill had fifty-five years of marriage, having celebrated their 50th year anniversary on a cruise to Alaska along with the family.
Arlene was one of the first patients of the heart valve pioneer, Dr. Denton Cooley, where in Houston Texas she had a metal “Cooley Cutter Valve” implanted in her heart in 1978. She will live forever in our “hearts”. Arlene, we thank you for your bravery, strength of spirit and love of your family and friends that will help us endure our life without you.
Surviving are her husband William P. Haas Sr.; one daughter Darlene Kohan and her husband Bruce of West Milford; one son William P. Haas Jr. and his wife Jana of Lovettsville, Virginia; one brother Richard W. Miller and his wife Barbara of Frederick, Colorado; a very special granddaughter Lauren Kohan; two nephews Glenn Miller of Lyons, Colorado and Christopher Miller of Longmont, Colorado.
