May 17, 1971 – August 20, 2026

Arlene Cintron, of Cleveland, Ohio, passed away on August 20, 2026, at the age of 55.

Born on May 17, 1971, to Stan M. Vitkovic and Halina Vitkovic, Arlene was the youngest sister of Andy Vitkovic. She spent most of her life in Cleveland, Ohio. A bright and determined student, she graduated from high school in 1989 with excellent grades and moved to Chicago that same year.

While in Chicago she met her first husband, Ray Cintron, and together they welcomed their son, Ricardo E. Cintron. After their divorce she returned to Cleveland, where she continued to build her life and career. In 2011 she graduated as a web designer and went on to work for ARM in Seattle, Washington, and Austin, Texas. She later opened her own business in Asti, Italy, pursuing her professional passions with the same drive and creativity that marked her life.

In 2021 Arlene became a grandmother to a beautiful granddaughter, Gabriela—a role she cherished deeply.

Arlene was a loving mother and grandmother whose kindness, compassion, and unwavering love for her family and friends defined her. Though she faced struggles in life, she will be remembered for the warmth she shared, the strength she showed, and the joy she brought to those around her.

She is survived by her mother, Halina Vitkovic; her brother, Andy Vitkovic; her son, Ricardo E. Cintron; and her granddaughter, Gabriela. From her mother, brother, son, and granddaughter there are simply no words to fully express how deeply she is loved and how profoundly she will be missed.

Arlene’s memory will live on in the hearts of all who knew her.

Love you mom

Love you grandma Arlene.
