Phyllis Jeanette Westbrook Arnold, July 04, 1937 — January 15, 2019

Phyllis’ Obituary Phyllis Jeanette (Westbrook) Arnold, 81, of Cabot, passed away on January 15, 2019 after being diagnosed with Alzheimer’s in 2008. She was born July 4, 1937 in North Little Rock to the late Charles Henry and Mattie Irene Hughes Westbrook. Phyllis resided in a Care Facility since 2010.

Her childhood days were spent in North Little Rock and she graduated from North Little Rock High School. After graduation, she attended the Catholic School of Nursing. While attending nursing school, she met and married Bob Arnold on April 20, 1956.

Their marriage lasted over sixty-two years. Phyllis and Bob traveled to most all of the states and abroad as well, seeing many countries. She enjoyed life and was loved by all.

Besides being a homemaker, Phyllis was also an administrative assistant to the buyers for Kroger Food Stores and later she worked for Arch Haltom Food Brokerage. In January 1959, Bob and Phyllis were blessed with a son, Bret Arnold, and her world became that of a gentle, soft spoken, caring, gracious lady taking care of her family. She was also blessed later with a daughter-in-law, Elaine Arnold.

Phyllis was also the caregiver for her mother who had been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s for nearly twenty years. Her hobby of family genealogy sent her to many libraries, court houses, and anywhere there were records of her family on file. Phyllis was a faithful Christian and a member of Cabot Church of Christ.

She had a special interest and passion to watch over and care for the older ladies of the congregation. She would be the one to cheer up a lonely person, going to sit with them and insure that everything was fine with them, showing her Christianity by her loving actions. Phyllis is survived by her husband, Robert “Bob” Arnold of Cabot, her son, Bret Arnold and his wife, Elaine of Cabot.
