BATH - Arlene M. Wheaton went to meet her Lord on Palm Sunday, April 17, 2011, at 
the age of 92. Born April 26, 1918, in Kramer, PA, Arlene was the daughter of the late 
Raymond and Mary Shaffer Mitchell. In the mid thirties, her family moved to the Lent 
Hill area near Cohocton, NY, where she graduated from high school and met and 
married her life partner, Clifford Wheaton on January 1, 1937. 

There were never enough hours in a day for Arlene to do the many things she wanted 
to get done. She loved to sew, quilt, read and bake in her spare time. She was most 
proud of the hundreds of children whose lives she touched through Foster 
Grandparent Program in Livingston, Steuben and Wyoming counties at the VEW 
Primary School where she was Grandma Wheaton for 24 years. Arlene also set a 
record at the Steuben County Fair where she worked for over 60 continuous years. 
She started by cooking in the Pomona Grange food tent, then to working in the Fair 
House with the arts and crafts. She was a life member of the Methodist Church. 

She is survived by her daughter, Nancy (Mickey - her favorite son-in-law) Moore; sons, 
Ken (Bette) Wheaton and Robert (Sandy) Wheaton all of Bath; seven grandchildren, 
Thomas Moore of Groveland, MA, Diane Tiffany, Jodi Loucks, Tyler Weaton, Jason 
Wheaton, Anna Wheaton and Allen Wheaton all of Bath; nine great-grandchildren, 
Jessica Monahan, Sarah Tiffany, Tim, Stephanie and JeffreyMoore, Joshua Loucks, 
Skyler, Dakota and Brooke Wheaton; and four great grandchildren, Karli, Jaskon, 
Mason and Kaden; two brothers, George Mitchell and Bill (Betty) Mitchell of Avoca; 
sister-in-law, Sally Wheaton of Cohocton; and several nieces and nephews. 

The family received friends from 2-4 p.m. and from 6-8 p.m. Wednesday, April 20 at 
the Bond-Davis Funeral Home of Bath. A celebration of her wonderful life was held at 
11 a.m. Thursday, April 21 at the Centenary Methodist Church, 3 W.
