Pastor Margaret Ann Arnold

Obituary

Pastor Margaret Ann Arnold was born to Mary William and the late Albert Lee Ruffin on August 26, 1960, in Moorehead, Mississippi. She was the second born of four siblings, Estella White, and the late Ora Lee Ruffin and Michael Mckelvey. As a young child she moved from Mississippi to Naples, Florida with her family where she attended ShadowLawn Elementary School. At an early age, Margaret loved and served the Lord and was filled with the precious Gift of the Holy Ghost around the age of nine.

Margaret was a peculiar child. Instead of playing outdoors with other kids, you could find her in the church with a broom cleaning the Lord’s house. Margaret was a very wise and responsible child who cared after her siblings when her mother was a full-time worker. She loved and admired her mother dearly. As she grew older, she gravitated towards older saints and learning of the Lord’s work. When she was 15 years old, she was a full-time worker, while raising four young children, who she helped to transport to the United States from the Bahamas in her first marriage.

Margaret gave birth to two “Miracle Babies”, Mary Ora Lee Marshall and to her youngest, Brenda Latosha Arnold. Margaret loved and honored being a mother to her children. On July 30, 1987, Margaret married the love of her life, Louis Arnold.

As Margaret grew older, she followed in the footsteps of her Spiritual Mentor, the late Pastor Verna Lee Nash by becoming a devoted woman of God and a great Prayer Warrior for the Lord. She enjoyed serving the Lord with all her might, body, and soul. She answered the call to Pastor under Pastor Gregory Ford and led many souls to Christ. She was known for taking many souls all around the world under her wings and naturing them back to their full potential. In 2018, Pastor Margaret Arnold became a member at Triumphant In Christ Outreach Ministries, INC., under the Pastoral Care of Apostle Latwonda Slaughter and Pastor Eddie Slaughter. Pastor Arnold’s favorite thing to do was talking about her First love, Jesus Christ and sharing His gospel with everyone that came into her presence.

On September 25,2023, Pastor Margaret Ann Arnold, transitioned from this life to glory. She leaves behind to cherish her memories, the love of her life, Deacon Louis Arnold, her mother Mary Williams, her sister Estella White, a host of brothers and sisters, her two daughters, Mary Marshall and Brenda Arnold, a son Chandler Stevenson, a host of grand, great, and great grandchildren, a host of  nieces, and nephews, and a host of Godchildren, whom she nurtured, loved , and raised as her own, cousins, other relatives, and sorrowing friends.
