Jennifer L. Arnold

December 19, 1971 - October 4, 2020

Jennifer Lynn Arnold, age 48 of Lawrenceville, GA, passed away on Sunday, October 4, 2020, after a courageous battle with cancer. Left to remember Jenny and her love is her beloved husband of 13 years, Robert (Bobby) R. Arnold III; her four children, Jessie, Wyatt and Owen Tankersley, and Zola Ann Arnold; her loving parents, Barbara and Arnold Darsey of Snellville, GA; Fred and Ana Taylor of Miami, FL; and her Mother-in-Law, Ann C. Bodenstine of The Villages, FL. She was born on December 19, 1971, in Miami, FL, to Fred and Barbara (Ward) Taylor. As a child she was a talented equestrian, even riding horses competitively. She spent many of her childhood summers in Lake Placid, FL, with her grandmother, Virginia Hiller, with whom she shared a special bond. Jenny had a lifelong passion and love for serving those in need. It was sparked by one of her first jobs - and perhaps the most meaningful: during high school she worked as a counselor at the Bluesprings Day Camp in Loganville, GA, a camp for children and adults of all disabilities, where she touched the lives of many individuals. Many years later she volunteered at Hi-Hope Service Center in Lawrenceville, GA, a nonprofit dedicated to supporting adults with disabilities. She also volunteered to assist disadvantaged children learning to read through a program associated with Turner Broadcasting System, where she worked for many years in acquisition and planning. She also worked as a senior project manager for Delta Air Lines, where she oversaw the development of their in-flight entertainment systems and Wi-Fi. She was a 1989 graduate of Shiloh High School in Snellville, GA, and a 1993 graduate of Georgia State University, where she received a Bachelor of Arts. She studied anthropology and sociology during her years at GSU, and was fortunate to spend time in New Mexico studying the Anasazi. She found this period of study in New Mexico to be fulfilling, and often reflected fondly on this period of her life. She also enjoyed movies, music, going to concerts, seeing live stand-up comedy and walking. Arrangements are pending at this time. Please check again for additional information.
