Arlene V. Gaska
Proud of her Polish heritage, had a beautiful sense of humor
Arlene V Gaska, 74, of Hackettstown, N.J., passed away peacefully on Monday, June 17, at Saint Clare's Hospital in Dover, N.J.
Arlene was born on May 8, 1945, (Victory in Europe Day), in Newark, N.J., to Victor and Catherine Gaska and was a 1963 graduate of East Side High School in Newark, N.J. She lived most of her life in New Jersey, spending 12 years in Spring Hill, Fla.
She was proud of her Polish heritage and loved animals, especially her cat Molly. She enjoyed crocheting, making crafts, gardening and cooking for big family gatherings. She treasured spending time at the beach and collecting seashells. She would spoil everyone she knew with gifts, wrapping each one like a piece of art.

She is survived by her two children and their spouses, Angelo and Mayra Infinito of Hackettstown, N.J., Mike and Victoria Boatright of Round Rock, Texas, and her sister, Dolores Loges of Warren, N.J.
