In Memoriam: Arlene B. Vogel, CRNA (1946-2024)

Arlene B. Vogel (Jakubowski), CRNA, was born on May 12, 1946, in Philadelphia. A long-time resident of Warrington, Pennsylvania, she passed away peacefully in her own home in Warminster, Pennsylvania on March 3, 2024. Arlene leaves behind a legacy of kindness and dedication to her family, friends, and the community.

Arlene is preceded in death by her parents, Benjamin and Geneviege Jakubowski, and her eldest daughter, Lisa Kuniega. As a pillar of strength and support, those she leaves behind will cherish their memories forever, including her loving and devoted husband of 46 years, Paul “Alan” Vogel; son and daughter-in-law Brian and Marie Vogel; daughter and son-in-law Alysha and Adam Robinson; her two grandchildren, whom she adored and brought her so much joy, Amber and Austin; and her best friend, Mark Seydel, who became an honorary family member and whose friendship was invaluable and supportive throughout the years.

Arlene’s caring nature extended beyond her immediate family and friends, and she touched the lives of many others with her kindness. She dedicated her professional life to caring for others as a Registered Nurse and Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist (CRNA). As a graduate of Albert Einstein Medical Center School of Nursing (1967) and Elkin’s Park School of Anesthesia (1973), Arlene’s nearly 50-year career in nursing exemplified her compassion and dedication to providing quality healthcare. In her leisure time, Arlene found solace and joy in various hobbies. She had a green thumb and loved tending to her gardens and her creative side flourished through crafting and cooking, where she shared her talents with loved ones. Above all, Arlene cherished spending time with her family and friends, creating lasting memories.

In honor of Arlene’s selflessness, the family kindly requests no flowers. Instead, they encourage individuals to consider registering as an organ or whole-body donor, signing up to donate blood, or making a donation in her memory to charitable organizations close to Arlene’s heart. These include your local food pantry, St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, Kindness Between Friends, Inc., or the American Heart Association.

A Celebration of Life will be held at a later date for close friends and family to honor her memory.
