Arlene Fay (Miller) Tarr, 89, of La Porte, Indiana, passed away peacefully Sunday, July 2, 2023 at White Oaks Health Campus in Monticello, IN.

 

She was born October 29, 1933 in Pulaski County, Indiana, the daughter of Clarence Miller and Amy (Krout) Miller.

A lifelong resident of the area, Arlene graduated from La Porte High School in 1952.
