Holtman, Arlene J. of Freeland, MI, went to be with the LORD on Sunday, September 23, 2018, at her home, surrounded by her family. She was 84 years old. Arlene Joan Coty was born in Saginaw, Michigan on December 19, 1933 to the late William and Theresa (Thom) Coty. She married Russell A. Holtman, Sr. on January 31, 1953. He preceded her in death on April 18, 2016 after 63 years of marriage. Arlene worked as a secretary for Saginaw General, Dr. Gerard Scott, and finally Dr. Dermot O’Brien until her retirement in 1992. She and Russell were members of St. Agnes Catholic Church and Saginaw County Right to Life. In her spare time, she enjoyed volunteering and going to church, gardening, and also volunteering at nursing homes. Arlene enjoyed nothing more than spending time and taking care of her family, always putting her family first.
