Arlene was born in Chicago on July 7, 1931 to Walter and Bertha Krause. She died Saturday, Feb.5 at Good Shepherd Hospital in Barrington.

She attended Morgan Park High School where she fell in love with Donald King Chisholm. They married Aug. 14, 1954 and spent 56 years raising six children and working together at their showroom in Chicago's Apparel Center. They spent summers camping in the Nicolette National Forest, Wisc., on Franklin Lake. Arlene's passion for cooking and entertaining led her to her catering business, Arlene's Cuisine.

In recent years, winters were spent in the warmth of Naples, Florida. Arlene will be affectionately remembered for her great sense of humor, her wonderful parties, and the way she could do the "Arlene Shuffle." She couldn't resist a practical joke or a good grocery store bargain. Her grandchildren will forever remember there "Gigi." She always had something special for them; whether it was homemade cookies, the best French toast ever, delicious food at many family gatherings, a funny trinket that she had found at a flea market, or a simple hug and a beautiful smile.
