Charlotte Arnold, 92, of Miles City passed away on Tuesday, Nov. 22, 2011, after an extended illness.
Charlotte and twin brother, Daniel, were born April 14, 1919, in Aitkin Minn., to Joseph and Elsie McDonald.
She was preceded in death by her three brothers and two sisters; husband, Keith Arnold; daughter, Peggy Lynn Arnold; and son, Reginald Earl Arnold.
Surviving siblings are her sisters, Marion Holland of Alabama and Marcella Smith of North Dakota; and her brother, Patrick McDonald of Wisconsin.
Her surviving children are, Leah (Jim) Doolan of Council Bluffs, Iowa, Patrick Arnold of Rathdrum, Idaho, Judy Arnold, Dan (Patricia) Arnold and Sheldon (Cindy) Arnold, all of Miles City, and Dennis (Patricia) Arnold of Grand Haven, Mich.; her 16 grandchildren; 14 great-grandchildren; and numerous nieces and nephews.
Mrs. Arnold attended grade school in Aitkin and went on to graduate from Santa Ana High School in California in 1940 with the aspirations of becoming a journalist. The onset of World War II changed her focus from journalism to supporting the war effort working in factories making bullets for the military.
Her future occupations would have her working alongside her husband, Keith Richmond Arnold, in Beach, N.D., Terry and Miles City in the restaurant business until his untimely passing in 1961. The many restaurants include the Theatre Café, Alta Club, Ten Spot Café, Beacon Café and the Husky Truck Stop.
Mrs. Arnold remained in Miles City where she dedicated her life to her family raising her remaining seven children by herself in the big yellow house (as she would always refer to).
She was a talented seamstress, baker, gardener and loved to create beautiful hand-tied quilts. Her favorite pastimes were playing cards and Scrabble with family and friends. She supplemented her talents with her family first and foremost in her life. She always knew what needed to be done to provide for her family's everyday needs.
Mrs. Arnold was a friend to all who came into her life. Her warm greetings, infectious smile and soft spoken words would always make you feel welcome. She loved conversation and entertaining.
Her tremendous memory for detail was one of her strongest attributes throughout her life. Reciting the Patriotic Instructional verse for the Veterans of Foreign Wars from memory was a very proud accomplishment
for her.
She was encouraged by Genevieve Gray to join the Veterans of Foreign Wars Auxiliary Post 1579 in Miles City. She honorably and vigorously served the auxiliary for 50 continuous years holding positions such as: Auxiliary President, Guard Chaplain, Patriotic Instructor and District 6 President.
She was presented her 50 year pin (for which she was so proud) in a ceremony conducted at the Friendship Villa this year. The VFW Auxiliary, she believed, was not only fulfilling, but also necessary to support those who have served our country.
Funeral services were on Saturday, Nov. 26, 2011, at 11 a.m. in Stevenson and Sons Funeral Home.
Internment followed in Calvary Cemetery in Miles City, MT.
