Arlene Mae Keiffer Bair, 87, of Lancaster, formerly of York, passed away peacefully from this life into eternal life with her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ on Thursday, December 9, 2021, surrounded by her four daughters and three granddaughters. Arlene was born in Pittsburgh in 1934, daughter of the late John E. and Maxine M. Hooper Keiffer.

She graduated from William Penn Senior High, Class of 1952. Arlene worked for Keystone Weaving Mills and was quick to laugh and quicker to make others laugh with her silly jokes.

She leaves behind to cherish her memories and live a life devoted to love, laughter and family, her four daughters: Kim (Michael) List; Betsy (William) Neidhammer; Jill (Steven) Pfefferle all of York and Wendy (Gregory) Ney, Lancaster who lovingly cared for her mother for most of her life.
