Arlene M. Faun

(nee Mancuso) On December 30, 2024, of Washington Twp. Age 81. Beloved wife of the late Bill. Devoted mother of Alisa DeMayo. Loving grandmother of Erin Signor (Amber). Dear sister of the late Marie Trapuzzano, Jean Trapuzzano, and Sonny Mancuso. Loved by many nieces, nephews, and friends. Survived by her furry companion, Teke.

Arlene was born and raised in Philadelphia, PA and graduated from Southern Regional High School in 1961. She started her career as a secretary for the Federal Government at just 17 years old and dedicated her life to public service before retiring in 1994 after nearly 30 years and achieving the honor of becoming a court stenographer. The baby of her siblings and final matriarch of her family – she leaves behind a legacy of love, laughter, and memories for generations to come.

She settled in Southern New Jersey in the early 1980’s with her husband, Bill Faun, and her daughter Alisa DeMayo. She became a loving grandmother to Alisa’s daughter, Erin Signor in 1994 and cared for them immensely. In addition to caring for people, she cared deeply for all animals. For several years, Arlene was an animal foster, rescuer, and caretaker. She found safe and happy homes for animals her entire life. Arlene believed deeply that animals, especially cats, teach humans about compassion for others.

Her favorite hobbies included dancing and attending concerts, especially Elvis Presley. She saw the “real” Elvis multiple times before falling in love with an Elvis tribute artist named “Doug Church”. She danced and sang to early rock and roll as often as she could!

Family and friends are welcome to attend her viewing Thursday, January 9^th, 10:00 – 11:00 AM at the Egizi Funeral Home, 119 Ganttown Rd., Washington Twp. Funeral service 11:00 AM. Interment Hillcrest Memorial Park, Washington Twp.

Everyone who knew Arlene knew she was an animal lover. In lieu of flowers, donations in Arlene’s memory may be made to Homeward Bound, Gloucester County Animal Shelter, PAWS, or the local animal shelter of your choice.
