Arlene Frances (Oxley) Spadea Obituary

Arlene Frances Spadea (Oxley)


Passed away peacefully at home after a long courageous battle surrounded by family. She leaves behind her husband and childhood sweetheart of 60 years, Anthony Spadea Jr, their three children, Kimberly Spadea & fiance Stephen Bogue of Hampton NH, Michelle Spadea Galvin of Braintree, and Anthony Spadea III and his wife Elizabeth Spadea of Braintree. Grandchildren, Kenneth Haslm III, Brittany Spadea, Lilly Bogue, Anthony Spadea IV, Jack Spadea, and Lex Spadea. Great grandchildren Aubrey Haslam, Calleigh Haslam, Kenny Haslam, and many cherished nieces and nephews.


Arlene graduated from Mansfield Beauty Academy and specifically loved being a colorist, she also spent some time working in the family business, Braintree Insurance Agency Inc. Ultimately what Arlene loved the most was being a homemaker. She fiercely loved her family and put her heart and soul into caring for those she loved. Arlene’s home was always open to all and was known for giving those who needed a place to stay a heartfelt welcome. She and her husband spent many years traveling and vacationing with close friends and could spend days telling amazing memorable stories. Arlene loved to have fun, and especially loved to dance even if it was in her kitchen. She had amazing relationships with her close friends that spanned over 60 years, those same friends who were sure to be by her side during these last difficult years. She loved to entertain no matter the season or occasion, but especially loved the summer when family and friends could enjoy the pool, which was known by many as “The Tara”. Arlene also loved to crochet and if you were lucky enough to receive something handmade by her it was a true expression of her love for you.
