Monice Arnold Obituary
Durham, NC: Died at her home in Durham, NC on January 4, 2012. Born in Rochester, NY in 1917, she was the youngest of six children of Gertrude B. and Maurice Dworski. She attended Rochester city schools and graduated from the University of Illinois at Champaign-Urbana in 1941. During World War II, she managed and expanded her elder brothers' businesses and property while they were serving in the military. Monice married Ralph Arnold, MD in 1947 and she moved with him to Durham, NC. Fiercely independent, generous, and active until the end of her life, she nurtured friendships across generations and backgrounds and inspired all she met with her irrepressible joie de vivre. She is lovingly remembered by her four children, four grandchildren, one great-grandchild and many family and friends.
A private service was held by the family. A memorial gathering will be announced at a later date.
