Arlene Black Humber

June 4, 1926 – May 2, 2023
    Arlene Black Humber, age 96 of Fayette, AL, went home to be with her Lord and her beloved husband on May 2, 2023.  She was born on June 4, 1926, the oldest daughter of Ellis and Cora (Bynum) Black.  On January 26, 1946, she married the love of her life, Thomas Lloyd Humber, after he was blessed to return from WWII.  They were married almost 70 years and had five children, ten grandchildren and fifteen great-grandchildren.  
    Mrs. Humber was a true home maker, loving wife, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother, and wise teacher to her family.  She also was a talented seamstress, quilter, gardener, and cook.  She loved her family, friends, church and Lord, and no one could ask for a better mom, grandmother, great-grandmother, aunt or friend.  Words cannot describe the loss her family feels at her passing but the love and memories that remain will forever be treasured.
