FARMINGTON — Arlene L. Burgess, 93, formerly of Leeds, passed away Sunday, Aug. 26, at Orchard Park in Farmington.
She was born Aug. 5, 1925, in Lewiston, one of 15 children born to Guy and Myrtle (Stevens) Burgess Sr. Arlene attended school in Lewiston and Leeds. She worked for Twin City Printery in Lewiston for 30 years, retiring in 1990.
