November 18, 1942 – August 28, 2019
It is with great sadness that the family of Ronald “Ronnie” Owen Arnett, Sr., 76, Noblesville, announces his passing after an extended battle with Alzheimer’s, on Wednesday, August 28, 2019 at Harbour Manor Care Center in Noblesville. He was born on November 18, 1942 to Owen Arnett and Flora (Camp) Clay in Noblesville. His parents have preceded him in death.
After high school, Ronnie was drafted into the United States Army and served from 1966 to 1971. He worked for 27 years for Field Rubber Products in Noblesville. Ronnie was a lifetime member of the Noblesville VFW. He was an avid race fan; you could catch “Slim” every Saturday night at the Anderson Speedway before his illness progressed. Ronnie enjoyed watching old Westerns and NASCAR with his dogs, Sally and Jessie.
He is survived by his wife of 57 years, Rose Arnett; children, Deanna (Art) Kessler, Donna Arnett (Dominick Ellis), Curtis Arnett, Roger (April) Arnett, and JR (Jennifer) Arnett; grandchildren, Uriah Barcus, Lyndsay Barcus, Christina Ward, Kaley King, Dominic (Dani) Ellis, Dakota Ellis and Clint Kessler; nine great-grandchildren; and three sisters, Beverly, Vickie and Nancy.
