Earl W. Arndt, age 93, passed away Saturday, November 2, 2019 at Marshfield Medical Center. He was born March 14, 1926 to Wilbert and Maureen Arndt in Wisconsin Rapids, WI. He lived in Wisconsin Rapids for his entire life except for his time serving in the U.S. Navy during WWII.
He attended Lincoln High School in Wisconsin Rapids; like so many other young men at that time, he left high school before graduation to serve in the military. But many years later, at the age of 78, he and a few other classmates went through the high school graduation ceremony with the class of 2004 and received his well-deserved high school diploma. He rarely left anything unfinished.
On April 26, 1947, he married Marion Schroeder and enjoyed 68 wonderful years of marriage with his dear wife and best friend. They had three children – Jerry, Judy, and Linda. The family grew as the kids got married, grandchildren came along, and then great-grandchildren; and he stayed very connected and involved in all of the family and extended family throughout his busy life.
Earl was a man of deep faith in God. Despite usually being busy in some way, there was always time for prayer and his personal time with God.
Earl had a wide variety of roles and jobs throughout his life.
