George Everett Arnold

Born on August 11, 1942, he was the son of George Huron Arnold and Eugenia "Genie" White Arnold, and brother of Carl Thomas "Toddy" Arnold and Martha Jean Arnold Moore.

George graduated from Thomasville High School, where he was a kicker on the football team, and a long jumper in track.

Like his father, he attended the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. He held a history degree from Pfeiffer College, where he graduated in 1965.

He began his professional career as a school teacher, then later worked in the High Point furniture industry until his retirement.

George was happiest spending time with his loved ones at their family farm on Finch Farm Road, which had a fishing pond, fields, and a cabin in the woods. He also loved fishing with family off the pier at the beaches of NC and SC.

He is survived by his wife, Rhonda Hiatt Arnold, their three children, Karen Arnold, Everett Arnold, and Anne Hiatt, as well as their granddaughter Madison Arnold Harman, and his brother Toddy.

A graveside service and celebration of his life will be held at Holly Hill Memorial Park Cemetery, 401 W Holly Hill Rd, Thomasville, NC 27360 at 1pm on Friday, October 23, 2026.
