Arlene Dorothy Bartz Fanning, 87, passed away peacefully on Thursday morning, June 18, 2015 at Oregon Manor Care Center, Oregon, Wisconsin where she had been a resident for the past 3 months. Arlene was born on August 15, 1927 to Fred and Alma (Ziglinski) Dux in Neillsville, Wisconsin. She married Alvin "Bud" Bartz on Christmas Eve 1947. Bud and Arlene spent their first two years of marriage living and working in Milwaukee, sharing a tiny apartment with two other couples. They returned to Neillsville where they lived on the Dux family farm and where Bud owned a milk route. In 1952 their only child, Dale was born. The family then moved to Janesville in 1955 when Bud accepted a job at General Motors where he worked until his death in 1977. She met her second "Bud", Emmett Fanning, whom she married in 1983. Arlene loved to dance and Bud became her dream partner. She had two very happy years with him until his death in 1985. Arlene worked as a laboratory aide at Mercy Hospital for nearly 30 years before retiring in 1989. Arlene was a member of Faith Lutheran Church for many years and later First Lutheran Church where she was active in the alter guild, mission quilting, and one of her most rewarding positions, the funeral lunch program for which she assisted with countless funerals. Arlene was an excellent cook and always made certain everyone was well fed. Schneider Funeral Home.
