Obituary

Born on January 27, 1938, Lillian Arlene Heinemann, was the youngest child of Walter L. Sullivan, Jr. and Lillian J. Sullivan. She died at the age of 79, in Irving, Texas on February 25, 2017. She was the loving wife of Warren W. Heinemann for over 53 years and mother of two, Glenn Mitchell of Frisco, Texas and William Stacy Heinemann of Fort Worth, Texas, for which she gave her unconditional love. Arlene was born in Annandale, Virginia and was raised with her four siblings, Roland, Theresa, Joyce and Walter just outside of Manassas, Virginia. After marrying Warren, newly hired by GTE, they moved first to Durham, North Carolina then Fairfield, Connecticut and then to Irving, Texas where they have resided for the last 37 years. She loved to cook for her family, walk at the Irving Mall with friends and keeping her mind sharp by working the daily crossword puzzle. Her parents, and four siblings precede her in death. Her loving family, former daughter-in-law, Cynthia K. Heinemann and many nieces and nephews, family and loving friends survive her. Arlene will be remembered fondly for her generous and giving spirit. At Arlene’s request, the funeral and burial will be a private event for her immediate family. Expressions of sympathy may be made in the form of a donation to the American Liver Foundation.   Please send the family condolences and sign the guest book on this site. Arrangements are under the direction of: Aria Cremation Service & Funeral Home 1820 N. Belt Line Road Irving, Texas 75061 972-607-4400

    She was a very special lady and I am so pleased that I got to know her through our walks at the mall.

    We both are so very crushed over the passing of our dear friend and walking buddy Arlene. She was such a caring, kind, loving person with the best dry sense of humor! She would crack us up! For years, we enjoyed walking with her and afterwards having coffee to start the day. We miss Arlene so much. And our hearts go out to her family. She loved them dearly.

    Arlene and I became friends because our husbands worked together at GTE. We lived on Mason Road and Warren and Arlene lived on Guess Road. Later in life both families lived in Connecticut. And after that we all lived in Texas. Arlene and I remained close for many years going out for lunch and movies many times. She was the best friend I ever had no matter where we two lived. She will be greatly missed by all who ever knew her. I wish the best for Warren and the two sons

"If I could give 6 stars I would. Aria made a difficult easier to deal with by basically taking care of everything in an efficient but very empathetic manner. I can speak highly enough of Dusty Martin, who helped us with all of the planning and logistics. He was incredibly understanding and helpful."

"Nothing prepares you for the grief you go through when losing a child. I called this funeral home at 2:00 am broken and could barely talk. The amount of compassion and empathy they showed me immediately let me know I found the right place to cremate my son. I cannot thank them enough for their professionalism, SINCERE concern, and commitment to making sure my son was honored in the most respectful way. I hope this Funeral home values her as much as my family and I do."

"I can’t say enough about how helpful and professional Dusty Martin, the funeral director at the Aria Cremation location on NW Highway has been. From my initial call, he was kind and informative. My friend died at home while on hospice and she was picked up in about an hour after receiving the call from the hospice nurse. The person who arrived to pick her up was also very professional/respectful and allowed us to take as much time with her as we wished. When I met with Dusty the next day about arrangements, he explained the process and options available without being pushy or trying to “sell” extras. Throughout the process, he kept me informed and, for example, was careful to be certain I understood the cost of the obituary I wanted and offered some options for reducing that cost if I wished. When I stopped by for another reason and started talking about some of the problems I was having with the pictures and media I hoped to use at a memorial lunch I was planning, he not only listened patiently but offered technology advice and let me use his personal media player. I have had experience arranging cremations for four others using two other local companies, and this experience with Dusty at Aria has been by far the best one I have had."

"My Daddy’s service and our family experience at Aria Northwest Highway was truly blessed. Funeral Director Dustin Martin is the kind of person that you would like to see on a more regular basis – but in his industry – you hope to not see him that often. That being said – THANK YOU DUSTIN for your unending kindness, compassion and friendship through the process. Meeting you and discussing Dallas History, Find A Grave and my Dad’s lifelong contributions to the great City of Dallas was simply wonderful! In memory of my dad James A. Dodd, Sr. – I want to personally thank you and let you know that you made everything better in that moment. Your calling to “Be There” is spot on. Aria has a one in a million guy in you! Bling Blinky of TEXAS Shout Out: God Bless You!!"
