If the old adage "if you do what you love, you'll never work a day of your life" is true, then Si Arnold never worked a day of her life. As costumer of The Stephen Foster Story in Bardstown for over 50 years she found her happy place. In 2007 she received the "Oscar" of outdoor theater productions, the Mark Sumner award for her outstanding contribution to outdoor drama. She retired at 97, the age she said she could no longer run across the stage.
Si and her late husband, Buddy Arnold, are survived by their children: Wendell Arnold (Joan), Mary Beth Clark (Charlie), and Annie Herbert (James Dow), one grandchild, Susan Herbert, and one great grandchild, Albert Hussaini, and her very many "Foster" fosters.
Always young at heart, Si faced each day with a sense of humor, an open mind, and lots of chocolate. Ever ready to be with friends, she closed each day with laughter and a glass of wine.
We will celebrate her 105 years of life at a later date.
