Arlene lived in Annandale, Virginia where she was active in the life of Christ Church of Arlington, Virginia, and many local and national charities, including Doorways for Women and Families, Arlington Food Assistance Center, and various animal shelters. She worked for almost 20 years in the food and beverage business before becoming a full-time homemaker and charity volunteer. She was loved by all the neighborhood children, who would run over to see her after they got off of the school bus every day, as well as the neighborhood pets, who could not pass her house without stopping for a treat.
As a military wife, she mentored young military wives, and led a coupon club to help them economize. Her kindness always extended to
those who weren't as blessed as she was, including helping battered women and children, the hungry, and animals of all kinds. She spent her entire life associated with the military as her father, who pre-deceased her, was a career Army officer and her husband Bob is a career Air Force pilot. She was an expert at moving and making new places into a home of love.
She is survived by her husband of 31 years, Colonel Robert Mattes, USAF, Retired; her mother, Mollie Ann Whiteis; her sister, Shirley René and her husband Chuck Cataldo; and a large extended family. She was pre-deceased by her father, CWO3 Lester Whiteis, USA, Retired, and her brothers, Wayne Whiteis and Greg Whiteis.
A service will be held May 6, 2018, at 3 p.m. at Parker United Methodist Church, 7200 Fayetteville Road, Raeford. Visitation will be from 2-2:45 p.m.

Margaret N. Beachnau
Margaret Nowland Beachnau passed away on Saturday, April 28, 2018 in Raeford. She enjoyed 76 years of life. She was a resident of Lansing, Michigan where she had a successful career in bank fraud investigations for many years. She was a member of Saint Therese and Saint Ann Catholic Church in Lansing, and in Fayetteville, respectively.
She was a mother to all with an open heart, a ready meal, and a place to sleep for many neighborhood friends; as a result, she was called "Mum" by most who knew her as a way of showing respect. She dreaded conflict and always sought the path to reduce tension in every situation. She had a ready laugh, a captivating smile, and a twinkle of mirth in her eyes. She loved animals and had a particular fondness for her dogs. Currently her friend "Bo", a doberman pinscher that adopted her, is looking for her, pacing about, and pining her not being there.
She was married to William (Bill) Beachnau for 29 years. He preceded her in death in 2007, as did her great-grandson Killian Vik in 2016.
She is survived by her children, Thomas (Sandra) Matt, James (Amy) Matt, Karen (Richard) Brois, George (Yolanda) Matt, William (Michelle) Matt; her grandchildren, Ashley (Matt) Schutte, Lauren Farhat, Andrew Matt, Alexander (Grace) Matt, Emily (fiancé Marcus Payne) Matt, Jason (Erin) Binkley, Stephanie (Mark) Smith, Richard Brois, William and Jessica Matt, Nicholas, Avery and Owen Matt; her great-grandchildren, Harper and Brecken Schutte, AnnaGrace and Ashling Binkley, Shaun Vik, Brandon Smith; her stepchildren and their families, Dana (Carmen) Beachnau, Renee (Bobby) Sessions, Rochelle Beachnau, Gordon (Lori) Beachnau; and her siblings, Janice Draper, James (Jeffria) Bourdeau, Keith (Michelle) Montresor, and Michael (Kim) Bourdeau.
