Arlene (Brooks) Peters, 83, of Stratford, the beloved wife of Frank Peters Jr., passed away peacefully on Tuesday, December 7, 2021, at Saint Vincent Medical Center, Bridgeport.

Arlene retired from Sikorsky Aircraft in 2003 as a Foreman of the electrical department for over 30 years. She enjoyed completing the perfect colorful puzzle, solving even the toughest of clues in a crossword puzzle, watching murder mysteries, over-cooking for family holiday meals, sharing her wisdom to those seeking her advice, she cared not only for her loving family but those without. A dedicated philanthropist who donated to countless charities. She never missed an opportunity to share their winnings from a lucky night out at Foxwoods with her husband. Arlene’s family will keep her forever in their heart
