Arlene P. (née Chrysler) Nykorchuck died peacefully on Sunday, June 16, 2024, in St. Peter’s Hospital. She was 89.

Born in Voorheesville on April 27, 1935, she was the daughter of the late Olin “Happy” and Edna Loux Chrysler and the beloved wife of the late William Nykorchuck.

She is survived by her sister Linda Adams and her husband, Gary; by her sisters-in-law, Patricia Chrysler and Marilyn Chrysler; and by several nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends.

In addition to her husband and parents, her brothers Donald and Everett Chrysler died before her.
