Arline E Nettleman

October 10, 2018

Nettleman, Arline E (nee Walker), age 94, died peacefully October 10, 2018, at Evergreens, Moorestown, NJ. She was the cherished wife of the late Milton F. Nettleman; mother of James D (Mary) Nettleman and Phyllis Ellis (the late Edward Horton); Nana to Chris, Jennifer, Kate and Megan; Grand Nana to Kayley, Kaelan, Andrew, Christopher and Inez; and sister to Jean (the late Warner) Thurlow and the late Ronald (the late Lois) Walker. Arline doted on family. From the giggly 13 year old who fell in love with the then-18 year old Milt, to the 18 year old who eloped with her soulmate, to the young wife who endured years of separation through World War II, Arline chose family. She and Milton made a home in Camden, then built a home in Lake Pine, Medford Township. They retired to Leisuretown in Southhamption until Milton’s death; then Arline selected her home at The Evergreens. She and Milton had a marriage to envy; they truly enjoyed each other’s company and did everything together. After raising children, she cared for aging parents and still found time to volunteer at Mt. Holly Hospital. She loved books, playing cards, keeping abreast of current events and word puzzles of all kinds. She had a smile and a kind word for everybody, whether she knew the person or not. She was a natural for the job when the Evergreens staff asked if she would be interested in greeting new residents and showing them the ropes. Arline baked cookies for residents and staff, participated in Bible study class, loved the programs on travel and exotic locations and served as Secretary of the Resident Healthcare Committee for years. May He make His Face to shine upon her and hold her in the palm of His Hand. Funeral arrangements, through the Lewis Funeral Home, Main Street, Moorestown, NJ, are private. The family asks in lieu of flowers, contributions in Arline’s name be made to The Evergreens, 309 Bridgeboro Road, Moorestown, NJ 08057; to Lighthouse Hospice, 1040 Kings Highway North, Cherry Hill, NJ 08034; or to a charity of your choosing.
