Arlene Clare Kitchin of Pinellas Park, Florida passed away peacefully on December 4, 2024, at Northside Hospital.
Born in Truro, Nova Scotia, she was the “farm-girl” who made-it-off-the-farm. Even as a single mom in Connecticut, with two toddlers, she never lost her ambition to succeed in business and in life.
Arlene was an entrepreneur, a headhunter, a writer, an artist and a consummate hostess, who made everyone feel special. She also never lost the directions to the party.
Arlene was accustomed to being the center of attention. People were just attracted to her. The most common adjective in describing her repeatedly in conversations is the word “amazing”.
She is survived by her three loving children, Annette, Rick & Mary (her loving daughter-in-law), two grandchildren, Kendall and Kyle, and her new great grandson Angelo.
Arlene’s Celebration of Life will be held at 2:00 pm on Wednesday, December 18th at Taylor Funeral Home, 5300 Park Blvd, Pinellas Park, FL 33781.
A reception will follow at BJ’s Brewhouse, 3800 N Park Blvd, Pinellas Park, FL 33781
In lieu of flowers the family requests donations be made in Arlene’s name to the ASPCA.

Arlene was a wonderful woman who touched so many people. She was the pied piper for the group of Annapolitans that ended up making Pinellas County or Florida home following her here. She was the queen of hosts for us and was always gracious. She was very active in the community and was a committed volunteer and supporter of the Treasure Island Chamber of Commerce and the arts community. She was a wonderful sitter for our beloved Tucker. Most of us can only hope to live a life as well as she did. I pray that the Lord has you in His arms.
