Highlands, NC: Charles Arnold, Jr. died at home on March 20, 2022 after a long illness. Charlie was born May 11, 1927 in Newnan, Georgia to Mary Branch Arnold and Charles Arnold Sr. He graduated from high school at Sewanee Military Academy. He was accepted to the United States Naval Academy at Annapolis, and while awaiting the appointment for the following year, Charlie enlisted in the Navy. During that year he decided that a career in the Navy was not what he wanted. He returned to The University of the South at Sewanee on the GI bill, graduated as the salutatorian of his class and was a member of the Phi Beta Kappa society. He did post graduate work in economics at Harvard University on a Rockefeller scholarship. Charlie joined Trust Company Bank (now Truist) in 1953 and remained there until he retired 44 years later as a Senior Vice President. He attained Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) status and throughout his career managed the investments of some of the bank's most prestigious individual, pension and endowment accounts. After retirement, Charlie was an active volunteer working five mornings a week at the Highlands Cashiers Hospital. He is survived by his wife of 40 years, Linda Beville Arnold, daughter Katherine Arnold Evenson and husband Scott, Granddaughter Emily Evenson Hanley and husband Michael, Grandson Benjamin Arnold Evenson and wife Katherine, great grandson James Wright Hanley, sister-in-law Barclay Beville Darden and husband Dick and many loved nieces, nephews and great nieces and nephews. His ashes will be interned in the garden at the Episcopal Church of the Incarnation following a celebration of his life on March 26, 2022 at 11:00 a.m. The family is grateful for the compassionate care given by Four Seasons Hospice, particularly Patty, Melissa, Lisa and Dr. Hinton.
