Arlene Pearl Cormican, a kind-hearted baker, passed away on January 19th, 2024, at Marshfield Medical Center, surrounded by her close family after a courageous battle with cancer.

Born on March 6, 1959, in Waukegan, Illinois, to Lawrence and Evelyn (Hemphill) Richardson, Arlene married David Cormican in Ladysmith in 1987. Her passion for baking extended beyond a profession, turning it into an art that brought sweetness to those around her.

Arlene had a deep appreciation for nature and animals. Her daily routine involved feeding squirrels and chipmunks, who would eat from her hand, showcasing her gentle spirit. She found peace in the outdoors, often pausing to observe wildlife, highlighting her adventurous spirit and appreciation for the world's wonders.

Arlene is survived by her children Lori (Chris) Walberg, David Cormican, Michael (Rachael) Cormican, and Catherine (Charles) Gibson, as well as six grandchildren. She is further survived by her sisters Shelby Brandt, Ronda Richardson, Joyce Wester, and Sue Peterson.

She is proceeded in death by her parents Lawrence and Evelyn Richardson, and her brother Aaron Richardson.

In every act of kindness, in the warmth of her baked creations, and in shared moments with family and friends, Arlene's spirit will endure. As we bid farewell to a remarkable woman, let us remember the joy she brought us, the memories she created, and the sweetness she added to our lives.

May she rest in eternal peace, surrounded by the beauty she cherished.
