In the pre-dawn hours of Tuesday, June 27, 2017, Margie Arnold departed this world. She had been in slowly declining health for the last three years, but had received wonderful care from Ruby Mooney, Krista Smith, and for the last three months, the fine staff at Wedgewood Estates.
Born in Wooster, Ohio, on August 10, 1932, Margie’s parents, Errold and Erma Struble moved to Bucyrus when she was a small child. After finishing with honors from her graduating class at Bucyrus High School and having participated in basketball, swimming and varsity cheerleading, Margie enrolled at Miami University from which she graduated in 1954 as a proud member of Alpha Omicron Pi sorority with a degree in elementary education. That fall, she and a friend acquired jobs teaching first grade in Larchmont, New York. While summering in Bucyrus in 1955, she resumed a long time off-and-on friendship with George Arnold. 2nd Lt. Arnold was home on a three week leave following Air Force fighter pilot training with the US Air Force. With a port call for transportation to Japan in early October, the couple married, honeymooned at Crystal Lake, Michigan, and then drove to San Francisco where George headed to the Far East while Margie returned to Bucyrus as married housing required a considerable wait to obtain at Itazuke Air Base outside the city of Fukuoka on the southern most Japanese island of Kyushu. When Margie was able to join her new husband in Japan, they spent their first night together in five months at Frank Lloyd Wright’s Imperial Hotel in Tokyo.
Following George’s discharge from active duty, the couple would up in Mansfield in the early 1960s as George had been hired as a full-time instructor pilot with the 164th Fighter Squadron of the Ohio ANG.
While raising four children was a full-time job, Margie still found time to enjoy membership in the Mansfield Art Center, Kingwood Center Gardens, the Mansfield Symphony, the Wednesday Study Club, Bridge at Westbrook Country Club, swimming and tennis at the Woodland Club and volunteer work at Mansfield Hospital and First Congregational Church.
Margie is survived by her husband of 62 years, George and three sons and daughters-in-law: Dan and Kathy and children, Danny and Kacy; Scott and Barbara and children, Chris, Jill and Michael; Tom and Ellie and children, Davis, Mallory, Amelia and Max; a daughter and son-in-law, Liz and John Hayde and children, John Michael, Patrick, Andrew and Alex. She is also survived by a brother and sister-in-law, Dr. Robert and Barbara Struble. She was preceded in death by her parents and a two-year old sister, Peggy.
The family will receive friends between 5:00-7:00 p.m. at the Life Celebration Reception Center, 129 S. Main St. on Wednesday, July 5, 2017. The memorial service conducted by Rev. Bruce Haapalainen will be held at 11:00 a.m. on Thursday, July 6 at First Congregational Church, 640 Millsboro Rd. followed by a light lunch at the church. Margie’s cremated remains will be inurned at Oakwood Cemetery in Bucyrus at a later date. In lieu of flowers, donations in remembrance of Margie may be made to First Congregational Church.
