Carol Arthur Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Oct. 31, 2017.

Carol Ann Arthur, 79, of Glendale, Arizona passed away on October 29, 2017. She was born on December 7, 1937 in Denver, Colorado to the late Jack W. and Gracie Marie Ford (McCarty). Carol graduated from West High School in Phoenix in 1955. She married the love of her life, William D. Arthur on August 21, 1955. They shared 43 years of marriage until his death on March 13, 1999.

Carol had employment at Mountain Bell from 1955-1957 and decided to become a homemaker from 1957 to 1973.

She enjoyed playing cards, especially Pinochle, Arthur Rummy and Poker. She loved to shop, and donate her time doing volunteer work. The most important thing to her though was her family.

So sorry to hear this news. Always enjoyed the family sorority get togethers when we had a chance to visit with everyone. Your mom and dad were a great support to my mom after my dad died.
