Jeanette Arndt

In Loving Memory of Jeanette Teresa Arndt November 12, 1939 - November 20, 2023

At 84 years of age, Jeanette Teresa Arndt peacefully departed this world to join her beloved spouse, Rolf Arndt, who had gone ahead. She is survived by her loving children: Edward Arndt (spouse Jenny Ahlin) and Lisa Arndt Albinus, (spouse David Albinus). Cherished grandmother of Kimberley, Ryan, Hannah-Rose, and Quinn Albinus. She leaves behind her sisters Carol LaPaglia (spouse Mike, children: Michael, Matthew, Timothy and Jane) and Margaret Gurgone (spouse Jim, children: Dennis, Greg, Jimmy and Danny).

Jeanette was a remarkable woman with a philanthropic nature, who faced life's challenges with unwavering strength and grace. A two-time breast cancer and stroke survivor, she became a beacon of hope, integrity, and power for all to recognize her ability to laugh at limitations. Jeanette met you for the first time as a stranger and left you as a friend. Her benevolence was expressed in many ways: as a volunteer through Guardian Ad Litem, as a Eucharistic Minister serving the homebound, and most recently, a receptionist at St. Peter's Episcopal Church.

As we remember Jeanette, let us reflect on the words of Henry Van Dyke:

"Gone From My Sight"

What is dying?

I am standing upon the seashore. A ship, at my side, spreads her white sails to the moving breeze and starts for the blue ocean. She is an object of beauty and strength. I stand and watch her until, at length, she hangs like a speck of white cloud just where the sea and sky come to mingle with each other.

Then, someone at my side says, "There, she is gone."

Gone where?

Gone from my sight. That is all. She is just as large in mast, hull, and spar as she was when she left my side. And, she is just as able to bear her load of living freight to her destined port.

Her diminished size is in me -- not in her.

And, just at the moment when someone says, "There, she is gone," there are other eyes watching her coming, and other voices ready to take up the glad shout, "Here she comes!"

And that is dying...

May Jeanette's memory be a source of comfort and inspiration to all who knew and loved her. She will forever sail in our hearts.
