Catherine Arnette Obituary
Catherine J. "Cathy" Arnette, age 66, a long time resident of Uniontown, Ohio went home to be with the Lord on Monday, May 29, 2017.
Born January 13, 1951 in Johnson City, Tennessee, she was the daughter of the late Dale and Jane Cornette, their family soon moved to New Symrna Beach, Florida, which Cathy always considered her hometown.
At the age of 15, Cathy met the love of her life, Rex Arnette; they became inseparable and their love story endured through their almost 50 year marriage. "Wouldn't it be Nice" by the Beach Boys would be the song that defined not only an era, but also their love for each other.
They became loving parents to: Troy (Georgia), Seana (Utah), Melissa (Georgia), Ashley (Califorina), John Taylor (Ohio), and Sarah (Ohio) who along with their 12 beloved grandchildren became the center of their universe; she is also survived by a sister Marcee (Ray) Matheny (Florida).
Cathy recently retired after 20 years of proud service at Kent State University. She will forever be remembered for her wonderful homemade bread, mixed metaphors, and ability to laugh in any situation. She was gifted with creativity; she loved writing, painting, gardening, and making holidays unforgettable.
The family would like to extend a special "thank-you" to the compassionate staff of the Cleveland Clinic Palliative Care Unit, who provided Cathy with care, comfort, laughter, and peace.
A Memorial Service will be held at 6:30 p.m. on Tuesday, June 6, 2017 at Temple Baptist Church, 1212 Greensburg Rd., Green, Ohio, friends will be received one hour prior to the service.

I am very sorry for your loss. Cathy was a kind person who helped me feel welcome in the Department of Sociology. We shared a love of gardening. She will be missed.

Your mom was one of the sweetest ladies around. I had such admiration for the way she cared for her family. She will be missed in the sociology department.

I am deeply saddened to hear of Cathy's passing. There are so many things I appreciate about Cathy. As a co-worker, Cathy was always so kind to me and so genuine. She took the time to listen to me and help me get things accomplished. She always asked me how my daughter was doing and really seemed interested in my reply. I will miss her!

We are so saddened to hear of Cathy's passing. Her beautiful smile and heart warming spirit could light up a room and she will be sorely missed by all who had the privilege of knowing her and loving her. We always looked forward to her visits to Edgewater because we could count on a very spirited game of Upsy and a loaf of "Cathy bread". Rest in Peace dear Cathy. We love you, Norm and Jan Kerns

My sympathy goes out to the Arnette Family during this time of grief. The lost of someone we love, at a time much to soon for us will surely be missed by many. As your days and weeks pass, and you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends and know that God is near when our hearts are broken.

This was terribly sad news. It's been decades since I saw Cathy and yet seeing this has flooded my brain with fond memories. I remember her as always having a smile on her face, being extremely patient and nice to under-classmen and she was truly a wonderful big sister to Marcee when I was around. My deepest sympathy to everyone in her family.

Cathy was a sweet school friend. Our paths only passed occasionally after graduation but our love of Jesus was a connection that made us sisters forever and gave us joy as we would share about our families. I know nothing can ease the pain of her loss,...but knowing I'll get to see her whole and happy in heaven, gives me hope and comfort. I pray it does for family and others also. Many prayers and love to Rex and family.yP
