Arbor had a loving marriage to Hal Vernon Savage who predeceased her in 1988. She maintained an unusually strong sense of self determination of her character and choices. Facing significant odds, she met challenges in both her personal and professional life with great courage. She will be remembered for her forbearance, constancy, and compassion.
