of Omaha, AR
July 25, 1925 - July 24, 2020
Bebe Arnold, age 94, of Omaha, Arkansas, passed away on Friday, July 24, 2020, at her home. She was born in Tempe, Arizona on July 25, 1925, to Quincy and Grace Mitchell. At the age of four, Bebe's family moved to Manhattan Beach, California. During the war years, Bebe became one of the celebrated ''Rosie the Riveters''. She was also known as a ''heavy hitter'' playing semi-professional softball.
Bebe married her childhood sweetheart, Charles A. Garner, a career Navy man. After his untimely death in a boating accident in Kodiak, Alaska, Bebe moved back to California where she renewed her acquaintance with wartime friend, Glen Arnold, a Marine Corps Raider. They retired to their farm in Omaha, where she loved gardening and raising cattle.
She was preceded in death by her husbands, Charles A. Garner and Glen E. Arnold; two sons; and two step-sons. Bebe leaves behind many family and friends; she lived her life her way and will be missed by all.

BeBe was a very special lady. Although I only met her one time. She hugged me like she had known me all of her life and was welcomed into there home. BeBe was married to my Uncle Glen Arnold.
Two very special people.
