Sharon Ann Arnold, 80, of San Angelo, TX, passed away peacefully on April 11, 2023, surrounded by her family. Sharon was born on January 3, 1943 in Okemah, OK, to Noble and Edwin Wood. Her father, Nobel was in construction which made the family move often. By the time Sharon graduated from high school she had moved 20 times, lived in 7 states, and attended 14 schools. In ninth grade alone she attended 5 schools. She attended Tulsa University in Tulsa, OK. On January 25, 1963 she married Donel Taylor in Clarksville, AR. They had one son, James Hunt. Donel and Sharon divorced in 1965. She married James Edmond Arnold on August 5, 1968, in Tulsa, OK.

Sharon was a house-wife, legal secretary, and she designed and manufactured clothes for a craft company named Sharon Arnold Designs. She had a passion for playing bridge, genealogy, and her grandchildren. However, Sharon is probably best remembered for her quick wit and funny stories.

Sharon is survived by her son James “Jim” Arnold and wife Amy, of San Angelo, and their 3 children, Sarah, Ally, and Kyle.
