Mattie F Arbogast

October 3, 1939- November 11, 2026

In Loving Memory

Mattie F. Arbogast, 87, of Centerville, Ohio, passed away peacefully at her home on Wednesday, November 11, 2026. She left behind a lifetime of beautiful memories and a legacy of unconditional love, kindness and joy.

Born on October 3, 1939 at home on a farm in North Carolina, Mattie was a remarkable woman whose warmth, generosity and beautiful spirit touched the lives of everyone fortunate enough to know her.

Mattie had a special gift for making people feel loved and appreciated. She possessed a wonderful sense of humor, a contagious smile, and an extraordinary ability to find happiness in life's simplest moments. Even during difficult times, she chose gratitude, optimism, and kindness. She rarely had a bad day, and her positive outlook was an inspiration to those around her.

Above all else, Mattie treasured her family and her relationship with Jesus Christ. She was a devoted mother, grandmother, sister, aunt and friend whose love knew no bounds. She made every moment together feel special...her family was her greatest joy and she was the heart of theirs.

Although her passing leaves an immeasurable emptiness in the hearts of those who knew and loved her, her spirit will live on through the countless lives she touched, the laughter she shared and the love she gave so freely.

She was preceded in death by her father, Jesse Parker, her mother, Mary Parker Jones, and her former husband James I. Arbogast. She is survived by her daughter, Theresa Arbogast, her son, Randy Arbogast, her granddaughters, Nicole and Jayna Arbogast Miller, her grandsons, Ben Kiser and Taylor Arbogast, and her newest addition and great-granddaughter, Maddie James Arbogast.

She also leaves behind a brother and sister-in-law, Buddy and Peggy Parker, a sister, Janet Culotta, brothers and sisters-in-law, Roscoe Arbogast, Paul (Donna) Arbogast, Jim (Peg) Kidd and numerous cousins, nieces, nephews and friends.

Burial will be held at Miami Valley Memory Gardens after the services. In lieu of flowers, the family is requesting donations be made online in Mattie's name to:
