1 of 9 children born to George W. Smith & Lou Terry Christian Smith.

Mrs. Ophia Leona Arnold, 81, of 1273 Christians Bend Rd., passed away on Sunday (July 7, 2002), surrounded by her friends and family.
Embraced by heaven's angels, Ophia L. Arnold slipped away to rest from all her labors. To all who knew her she was our "Hero of Faith," a great prayer warrior, always praying for those she knew and many that she did not know whose only contact was their need for prayer. Her love knew no bounds. Our loss is heaven's gain.
