  Arlene A. Blair, age 86, of Kaukauna, passed away September 19, 2016 at St. Paul Elder Services. The daughter of Henry and Cecilia (Schampers) Bowers was born November 1, 1929 in Kaukauna. She was united in marriage to Cletus Blair on July 1, 1950 at St. Paul Catholic Church in Wrightstown. Arlene grew up working in grocery stores, and she and Cletus owned and operated Blair's Grocery Store in Wrightstown. After Cletus died in 1974, Arlene continued to operate the store until 1991, where she was known by all the kids as always having "penny candy." After retiring from the store, she went on to work at the Fox Valley Greyhound Park, and later retired from Pioneer Press at the age of 80. In her spare time, she enjoyed playing cards and bowling, where she had several 600 games. Arlene was a talented artist, and enjoyed spending time with her children and grandchildren.
