Arline Ricci of Plains Township was called home to be with the Lord on Saturday, January 28th, 2023 surrounded by her loving family at the age of 80.
Born April 21, 1942, in Hanover Township, she was the daughter of the late Stanley and Helen Elkiewicz Halas. After graduating from Hanover Area High School in 1959 she went on to have a 43 year career as a computer programmer with the Social Security Administration.

Arline’s faith was a very important part of her life. She was an active member of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross Church in Hanover Township, including serving several years as a CCD teacher. She was a devoted wife, mother, and grandmother who always put others happiness above her own.
Arline enjoyed traveling, with some of her favorite trips being those she took to Ireland and Italy with family. In addition to traveling, she loved to go shopping with friends, having spent a countless number of days shopping with her dear friend Barbara. While at home, her best days were those spent with her grandchildren.
