Obituary of Sarah Brianna Arnold

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the untimely passing of Sarah Brianna Arnold, a beloved member of our community, who left us all too soon at the tender age of 16. Sarah unexpectedly departed from this world on Saturday, October 28, 2023 at home, leaving behind a legacy of warmth, kindness and an enduring love for life. Born on April 5, 2007 in Attleboro, MA, Sarah brought joy and light to the lives of those around her. She lived all her life in Dudley, MA and was a member of the class of 2025 at S.H.R.H.S. Sarah is survived by her heartbroken parents Sean and Heather (Noyes) Arnold, loving sister Emily Arnold of Dudley, MA. Her Paternal Grandparents Bill Arnold of Webster and Geraldine Arnold of Dudley. Maternal grandparents Robert and Glenda Noyes of Pepperell Ma. Extended family of aunts and uncles Kim and Bill Arnold Jr, Kenny and Diana Noyes, Steve and Becky Walker, Aaron and Amy Noyes, Stephen Noyes and a host of beloved cousins. Sarah was in her Junior year at Shepard Hill where she achieved academic excellence as a member of the Student Council and the National Honor Society. In addition, Sarah was an avid reader with her nose constantly buried in books, charmed audiences with her Show Choir and gymnastics talents and played piano beautifully. Sarah also exemplified the spirit of compassion through her many hours of volunteer work at the local soup kitchen. What truly set Sarah apart, however, was her kindness. Universally cherished for her gentle nature, Sarah treated everyone with respect, empathy, and understanding. Her radiant smile was a beacon of light that could brighten even the darkest of days, and her positive spirit left an enduring impression on all who had the privilege of knowing her. In this time of sorrow, let us remember Sarah for the beautiful soul she was—a young woman who embraced life with open arms, spread love wherever she went, and made an indelible mark on the hearts of all who had the pleasure of knowing her. As we come together to mourn her loss, let us also celebrate the incredible person she was and find solace in the cherished memories she leaves behind. The funeral will be held at 10:00 am on Saturday, November 4 at Bartel Funeral Home, 33 Schofield Ave., Dudley, MA with Pastor Montel Wilder officiating. Burial will be in Waldron Cemetery, Dudley, MA immediately following the service. Calling hours will be Friday, November 3 from 5-8pm at Bartel Funeral Home, 33 Schofield Avenue, Dudley.
