Arlene R. (Zahka) Haddad, of Natick, passed away on March 5, 2018. She was 85 years old.

Arlene's greatest joys in life were her children and grandchildren. Every phone call she made was selfless, checking in on how every member of her family was doing. She loved hosting all the holidays at her home and kept meticulous notes to keep tradition alive from year to year.  She was kind and compassionate by nature and filled her life with caring for others. She loved volunteering at her Church, the Natick Senior Center and the food pantry. She will be greatly missed by all.
