Arlene

Chaine

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our dear mother Arlene A. (Champagne) Chaine on Monday November 9, 2026 at the age of 82. She has been reunited with our father Philip J. Chaine who passed in April of 2000.

Born in Waterbury on September 20, 1944, Arlene was the daughter of the late Roger and Anita Champagne. She lived in Wolcott for nearly her entire life and was sweet and caring, with a love of the beach and, especially, coffee. Above all, she cherished her family, gatherings, and holidays spent together.

She will always be remembered for her kindness and her willingness to help others. She had a very quiet and gentle way of being the matriarch of our family.

Left to cherish her memory are her son Roger and his wife Kathleen Chaine, her three daughters, Michele and her husband John Markie, Nicole and her husband Allen Baxley, Annette and her husband Matthew Mauro, her nine grandchildren and sixteen great grandchildren, her brother Rick and his wife Cheryl Champagne, and her sister Joanne Champagne. She also leaves her devoted chihuahua Nala. In addition to her husband, Philip, and her parents, Arlene was predeceased by her sisters Debra Gregory, Julie Coscia and her granddaughter Nadine Chaine.

Funeral services celebrating Arlene’s life will be held on Tuesday, November 17, 2026, at 11 a.m. at Woodtick Memorial, 420 Woodtick Road, Wolcott. Burial will follow at Calvary Cemetery. Calling hours will be Monday, November 16, from 4 to 7 p.m. Woodtick Memorial is honored to serve Arlene’s family. Visit her tribute page at www.woodtickmemorial.com.
