Mandy Jo Arnold, age 42, of Decatur, went home to be with her Father in heaven on Friday morning, September 17, 2021. She was at home with her husband Brent; daughter, Macy (17), sons, Cole (15), Max (10), and Crew (8), all of whom made up the entirety of her whole world. Mandy’s eight-year long battle with cancer was very courageous, and through it all, she modeled a life worth celebrating. Mandy’s love for her children were the pride and joy of her life; she loved them with such passion and pleasure, it was remarkable to behold.
Mandy also loved dancing, which she did for 15 years with the Suzy Fuelling Dance Studio, and as an instructor for another 13 years with Razz M Jazz. She enjoyed the yearly vacations and relaxing at their lake cottage.
Mandy graduated from Bellmont High School in 1997 and later married Brent M. Arnold in Decatur on Sept. 29, 2001. Mandy homeschooled all of her children and was a member of WACHE. Her love for babies, anything silver and shiny, note pads, and Bibles, was surpassed by no one.
Mandy was a caring and loving person, kind, gentle, and compassionate, which all stemmed from her faith In God, her faith was unshakable, solid, and true. She was an example to all her knew her, and inspirational to those who would know her story. This fund, endowed in the ACCF, will ensure an annual tribute to Mandy Arnold will be remembered.
