Arlene Ruth (Pelka) Guti, 81, of Reading, passed away in the Reading Hospital on Sunday, July 16, 2017. She was the wife of Raymond A. Guti, Sr. of Hemet, CA.

Born in Reading on February 20, 1936, Arlene was a daughter of the late Walter John and Ruth Elizabeth (Heft) Pelka.

Arlene was first employed with Luden's Candies as a candy decorator. The family always enjoyed when she brought home 5th Avenue bars! After 12 years, she went to work with Narrow Fabric as a laborer. She remained there for 30 years until retirement in 1998.

Arlene liked spending time in her garden and enjoying her yard. She also liked to sit on her porch and watch the neighborhood happenings. Her favorite thing to do was to go to the shore with her niece, Cheryl and her husband Bruce Gehman.

Surviving are five children: Robin L. (Guti) Leonti and her husband, Gary of Lenhartsville, Jerry L. Guti, Sr. and his wife, Stephanie of Reading, Todd A. Guti of McKenney, VA, Ruth A. Laity and her husband, John, Jr. of Reading and Raymond A. Guti, Jr, of Reading; 11 grandchildren: Tanya, Shawn, Brandon, Steven, Jerry, Jr., Tabitha, Ethan, Korey, John, Amanda and Jessica and several great and great-great grandchildren.

Also surviving are a brother: Robert Pelker of Reading and a sister: Joan (Pelker) Aquilla of Shillington.

Arlene is predeceased by seven siblings: Charles Pelker, Gerald Pelker, Sr., Walter Pelker, II, Helen (Pelker) Sands, June (Pelker) VanPelt, Victoria (Pelker) Pullano and Anna (Pelker) Milligan.

Peen, We missed you for the last 18 years since we moved from 12Th ST. You were the best and will always be the best neighbor anyone could have, we were the lucky ones. You called me your little man and how we talked and laughed on the front porch and in the back yard. We'd see each other from time to time but not enough. Kath and I just wanted to bring you with us so we could still have you near but we never forgot you. You came up in our conversations, lots. We ran into you in O C Maryland on the boardwalk a few years ago and how awesome was that.We were there last week when we read the news about your passing. So so sad I wish we would've seen you before hand. You will always be in a special place in our hearts Peen. What the frig, you left to soon. I kept the lawn ornaments in front of our house till they fell apart. We have one left and I'll try to keep it in good shape in memory of you. Love Ya Peen. Jimmy Kathy and Jessica

Today was a day an angel was called to come back home. She will be missed dearly. It happened so fast, but at least she didn't have to suffer long. As we all say our good byes she will be up in heaven showing her sassy self, so everyone knows she is right where she belongs. Keeping all the angels up there in heaven in line and on their toes. Not to mention looking down saying no shoes pass my front door. Look out to all the cats in heaven, run she is home now. And now she won't have to worry about anyone taking her teeth. She left behind a husband, two daughters, three sons, grandchildren, great grandchildren, sister, brother, a lot of other family, and friends. In this time of heartache we need to come together and send our love and good byes. RIP Nan may we meet again.
