Granny loved hearing a dirty joke and loved playing practical jokes, especially on April Fools Day by adding food coloring to the milk, sometimes sewing a seam across one pants leg and telling you that you’re late for the school bus, while you hopped around the room trying to get your in the sewed up pant leg.

Dena loved everyone and was called Arlington’s Granny by many. (The family is inviting everyone to share their favorite story of Granny).
