Arlene was born June 5, 1923 in Springwater the daughter of George and Catherine (Steidle) Brokaw. On July 18, 1941 she was married to Homer Fogle. Together they celebrated over 63 years of marriage.

She was a charter member of the New York State Covered Bridge Society (founded in 1966) having loved to travel and photograph covered bridges. She was a descendent of several Revolutionary War heroes. Those relatives included Bergen Brokaw and Isaac Hill.

Arlene and Homer won many trophies with their 1966 Mustang convertible “Maggie,” and their two Metropolitans, “Dollie,” and “Black Bart.” Other hobbies included collecting dolls, teddy bears, and art glass. She was always looking forward to the next yard sale or flea market; finding many bargains at each and visiting with folks. It was Arlene's positive and vibrant outlook on life that kept her going for all those years. Arlene was predeceased by her great grandson Jonathan Michielsen in 1999. She is survived by her loving husband, Homer Fogle of Springwater; son Todd (Sarah) Fogle of North Fort Meyers, Fla.; and daughter Jill (Robert) Michielsen of Cohocton; her sister, Nadine (Harold) Englert of Dansville; grandchildren, Robin Fogle, Todd Fogle Jr., April Fogle, and Jody (Rachel) Michielsen; great grandchildren, Amber, Jasmine, Christopher and Nathaniel Michielsen and Michael Fogle.
