On Feb. 11, 2021, Carole Jean Arnett was called home after suffering briefly from a stroke. Jean was born on Sept. 1, 1937 in Mansfield, Ohio to Adam and Della Scheetz. She moved to Whitman, AZ with her family as a young girl and eventually landed in Superior in 1949 where she met her husband, Alexander “Red” Arnett and raised her family.
Jean was a strong and courageous woman with unmatched faith in the Lord. She was truly a giving and kind human being. Jean loved learning about animals and plants and enjoyed exploring the outdoors. Jean served as a school bus driver for 16 years for the Superior and Flagstaff school districts.
