Orville Lee Arnold

of St. Joe, AR

July 15, 1928 - December 17, 2017

Orville Lee Arnold, age 89, of St. Joe, Arkansas, passed away Sunday, December 17, 2017, surrounded by his loving family. He was born July 15, 1928, in Cecil Cove, Arkansas, the son of Mose and Dona (Klutts) Arnold. Orville was preceded in death by his parents; his wife, Willadean (Decker) Arnold; his son, Robert Faulconer; and his sisters; Fern English, Mae Sanders, and Tracy Faddis.

Orville was a hardworking man his entire life. He enjoyed clearing land, baling hay, and cutting firewood. When he wasn't working, Orville would work on his extensive rock collection. As he got older and retired, his taste for music took off. It was not unusual to hear his records playing outside long before you got to his front door. He enjoyed making the weekly trip from Newton County to Mountain View to listen to his favorite folk music.

Orville is survived by his son and daughter-in-law, Kenneth and Izene Arnold; his granddaughter, Sheri Ruble; and his brother, Richard Arnold; and a host of nieces, nephews, other family and friends.
