MARGARET CAROLYN (LOVELL) McARTHUR
October 23,1947 - October 14,2025
“Carol” McArthur, was born in Nashville, TN and passed away peacefully on Wednesday, October 14, 2025, in Franklin, TN.
She was a devoted wife, mother, sister, sister-in-law, aunt, cousin, and friend to so many. She was a retired employee of Hartzog & Silva, PLLC.
She was preceded in death by husband Willliam A. McArthur; first husband James Travis Stinson, Sr.; parents J.P. and Grace Copeland Lovell; brother Phil Lovell; sister Judy Lovell, brother-in-law Bobby McArthur; and sisters-in-law Mary Jo McArthur and Christy Lovell.
She is survived by her son, James “Jimbo” Travis Stinson, Jr. of Golden, CO; brothers Bobby Lovell of Eagleville, TN and Chip Lovell of Spring Hill, TN; sisters-in-law Donna Lovell of Spring Hill, TN and Linda Holt of Nashville, TN; many beloved family members including nephews, nieces, great-nephews, great-nieces, and cousins; friends, neighbors, and lifelong friend Diana Henley of Brentwood, TN.
Kind, generous, hard-working, devoted to family, and full of love and laughter, Carol lived most of her life in Franklin and was a member of Lawrence Grove Baptist Church. She cherished family get-togethers, her church family, and hearing her son play music. She will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved her.
