Deceased Name: Mrs. Arlene M. Houghton
BERLIN - Mrs. Arlene M. Houghton, 75, died at her home on February 27, 2001.

She was born on February 26, 1926, in Montpelier to Sylvanus F. and Edna M. (Ormsbee) Morse. She was raised in East Montpelier where she attended Cutler Elementary School and then graduated from Montpelier High School in 1944. On February 7, 1953, she married Romaine M. Houghton of Marshfield.

She worked for Green Mountain Power from 1944 to 1953; Richards and Perolini's until 1970; and then the City of Montpelier where she retired in 1988. Her love for her fellow employees and dealing with people took her back to City Hall where she volunteered for five years and then was hired on a part-time basis for the following six years until her hard-fought battle with cancer began in February, 2000.

Arlene enjoyed times of laughter with family and friends, traveling, camping, dancing, embroidering, gardening, listening to sports events with her walkman and "attempting" to teach her daughters and grandchildren how to play cribbage!

Besides her husband, Romaine, Arlene leaves two daughters, Linda Houghton of Dallas, Texas and Sandra Gordon of Berlin, Vermont; three grandsons, Douglas, Chad and Justin (JP) Gordon of Berlin; one sister, Esther Partridge of Montpelier; two brothers, Cyrus Morse of Montpelier and Harold Morse of E. Hartford, Connecticut; and several cousins, nieces and nephews. She was predeceased by sisters Helen Brown and Katherine Carey, and brothers Stanley Morse, Clifton Morse and Wendell Morse.

There will be no calling hours; a graveside service will be held at the Plain-Mont Cemetery in East Montpelier at the convenience of the family.

Memorial contributions may be made to the Central Vermont Home Health & Hospice, Inc., 600 Granger Road, Barre, Vermont 05641.

The Barber & Lanier Funeral Home, 139 Main Street, Montpelier, is in charge of arrangements. *6
