Judith Ray Sanford Arnold
Mrs. Judith Ray Sanford Arnold, 78, of Lillington died Thursday, June 10, 2010, surrounded by her loving family.
She was born May 6, 1932, the third of six children, to William Hobart Sanford, Sr. and Macie Overby Sanford. Mrs. Arnold grew up in the Kipling and Chalybeate Springs area, graduated from Lafayette High School in 1950 and attended Campbell College. She retired from the Harnett County Department of Social Services.
For many years, Judy assisted in operating her husband's businesses, including Arnold Motors, Acapulco Lake and Motorcrossing, and Circle "A" Cowboy Club. She spent much of her life caring for her mother, who died in 1994. She enjoyed entertaining, cooking, working in her yard and garden, bird-watching, loving on her dogs, and helping others, frequently assisting her husband with area benefit cookouts. She was known for her sassy personality and for making some of the best soup in the area. While living at Brookfield Retirement Center, she was quite the social butterfly, constantly walking the halls and stopping to visit and laugh with everyone. She will be greatly missed by all who loved her, especially her children, who considered her not only their mother but their closest friend and ally. The family is forever grateful to her caregivers over the years, particularly the staffs of Britthaven of Harnett, Hospice of Harnett County, Brookfield Retirement Center, and Nancy Chenault.
In addition to her parents, Mrs. Arnold was preceded in death by her husband of 54 years, Tommie O'Connor "Fuzzy" Arnold, Sr.; two sisters, Dale Hobbs and Janice Dewar; a brother, Buck Sanford; and a beloved grandson, Tommie Ray Arnold.
Funeral service Monday, June 14, 2010, 11:00 a.m. at Lillington Baptist Church, 210 E. Lofton St. Lillington, officiated by Rev. Ken Smith. Burial, Harnett Memorial Park, Lillington.
