Arline I. Schnaars

April 4, 1929 - December 25, 2023

Arline Ida Schnaars (nee Kaplan) died peacefully on Christmas Day, 2023, at Avalon Healthcare Center in Hamilton NJ with her loving family by her side. She was 94 years old.

Arline grew up in Irvington NJ and graduated from Irvington High School. In high school she sang in the church choir and played piano. Just a few years later when roller skating with friends in Jersey City, she met the love of her life, Leroy. They married six-months later on St. Patrick’s Day!

She and Leroy raised their family in Hazlet, where Arline was active in community activities. This included organizing high school reunions, being a Girl Scout leader, Den Leader for the Cub Scouts, active in her church and the local Parent-Teacher organization. She also worked as a payroll supervisor at Fort Monmouth and for Geico Insurance.

Arline leaves behind her older sister, Jackie, daughter Denise and her husband John, granddaughters Ashley and Jenna and son-in-law Esteban Reichberg, plus son Keith, his wife Joyce, and her grandson Kurt.

Arline was predeceased by her parents, Jacob and Catherine Kaplan, her sister Dorothy, and her adoring husband Leroy.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests that you give to your favorite charity.

“Shadows are fallin’ and I’m runnin’ out of breath,

If I leave you it doesn’t mean I love you any less…

Keep me in your heart for a while…

Sometimes when you’re doin’ simple things around the house,

Maybe you’ll think of me and smile.

You know I’m tied to you like the buttons on your blouse…

Hold me in your thoughts,

Take me to your dreams,

Touch me as I fall in view,

When the winter comes,

Keep the fires lit,

And I will be right next to you.”

From Keep Me In Your Heart by Warren Zevon.
