ROCKINGHAM — Arlene Fox Rasberry, 80, of Rockingham passed away Wednesday, Nov. 10, 2021 at her home.
She was born Nov. 27, 1940 in New Kensington, Pennsylvania, a daughter of the late Allyn W. and Ethel Stitt Fox.
Mrs. Rasberry retired from Clark Equipment. She was known as Mama, Arlene, Grandma Arlene and Foxy lady. During her life she made an impression on whomever she met. Knowing her was a privilege as she had an infectious laugh. She was a hoot! She always kept an open door and was happy to see everyone. She loved to cook and feed everybody. She also enjoyed her garden and her sweet little dogs. One thing about Arlene is that she loved her two remaining children more than life itself. She loved them as a Mother does, but they were closer than close. The three of them taught others the importance of family and love and respect. She loved her Grandchildren just the same and showed up to all birthday parties or family events until the end. She was something special and will greatly be missed.
She leaves behind her beloved family, a son, David Malcom Baucom II; a daughter, Kristina Kay Baucom; her grandchildren, Lauren Waters-Watson (Josh), Cameron Miles Baucom and Miranda Emmaline Baucom; great-grandchildren Braelyn, Jude, Finley, Houstyn, Ana, Emmaline, Mylann, Alexis and Connor.
She was preceded in death by a, daughter Shawn Baucom.
