Obituary of Mary Marie Arnold

Mary Marie Arnold, age 85, of the Fort Chiswell community in Max Meadows died on Sunday, October 6, 2019 at Carrington Place in Wytheville. She was preceded in death by her parents, Stuart French Arnold and Rosa Belle Felts Arnold. She was also preceded in death by three brothers: William Lee, Stuart Ray, and Roy Lindbergh and her sister Mildred Pauline Arnold. She is survived by her brother and his wife, Ralph Duane and Evelyn French Arnold of Stuarts Draft, and sister-in-law Irene Stanley Arnold of Richmond. She is also survived by four nephews, six nieces, and several great-nephews and great-nieces.

She attended Siloam Elementary School. After graduating from Ivanhoe High School in 1953, she worked in the home and in her family’s garden and orchard, never holding a job outside the home. She was a lifetime member of St. Paul P. H. Church.  Her church was not only the place where she faithfully worshiped her God; it was her main social outlet. She enjoyed participating in all her church’s special activities. One of her favorite pastimes was visiting her neighbors, especially her beloved friend, Annie Hazel Taylor. She continued her interest in people at Carrington Place, visiting with her fellow residents as long as her health allowed.
