With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of our beloved mother, daughter, sister, grandmother, great-grandmother, and friend, who passed peacefully surrounded by her family at 2:29 p.m. on May 19, 2026.
Born on September 7, 1962, she lived a life filled with love, resilience, humor, and compassion. Though life was not always easy, she faced it with strength and a caring heart that touched everyone who knew her. She had a way of making people laugh, sharing wisdom, and opening her heart and home to anyone who needed love. To so many, she was not only a mother, but a safe place.
She was the proud and loving mother of Christopher, Doug Jr., Jessica, Jordan, Justin, Madyson, and Maranda, along with many other children she lovingly took under her wing throughout her life. One of those special people was Malia Williams, who had been like a daughter to her since meeting through Madyson at just 7 years old. She loved Malia deeply and cherished her children, Bentley and Ava, as part of the family.
Her greatest joy was her family, especially her grandchildren: Analeah, Ary, Avery, Brendan, Christine, Cody, Violet, Lorin, Tristian, and Wilder. She absolutely adored her two great-grandchildren, Paisley and Zendaya, whom she thought were simply darling.
She found happiness in life’s simple pleasures — spending weekends garage saling, reading a good book, visiting with family, and loving her cherished animals. Her beloved pets, Princess Sofia, Chance, Riley, and Blue, brought her endless comfort and companionship.
She leaves behind her father, Stephen Arnold; her brother, Shawn (Angie) Lewis; her sister, Tamie (Rob) Reynolds; her best friend, MaryBeth Northcutt; Robert Johnson; Daniel Wagner; and countless family members and friends who will miss her dearly.
She is now reunited with her mother, Sharon Arnold, and her grandparents, Elmer and Rita Boler, whom she missed every single day.
She was intelligent, funny, loving, stubborn at times, and unforgettable. Her memory will live on in the stories, laughter, and love she gave so freely. Though our hearts are broken, we find comfort in knowing she is finally at peace and no longer in pain.
She will be deeply loved and forever missed.
