Lou Ella Arnold Livingston
"Lou Lou"
JANUARY 6, 1966 – JULY 22, 2024
"Earth has no sorrow that Heaven cannot heal."

Lou Ella Arnold Livingston, the daughter of Milton Garrison and Mamie Arnold, was born on January 6, 1966. She grew up with her blended family of six sisters and three brothers who affectionately called her "Lou-Lou." She was a lifelong resident of Greenville, Florida.

Earlier in her life, Lou Ella accepted Christ as her Savior and was baptized by faith. She became a member of Shiloh Missionary Baptist Church where she faithfully worshipped and praised the Lord.

Lou Ella was a loving, compassionate, giving and happy person. In her own way, she knew how to find the sunshine despite the rain, and she successfully spread this sunshine to others around her. The joy of the Lord was her strength. She loved her family unconditionally and was concerned about helping them to meet their needs and some of their wants. Constantly surrounded by her grandchildren was evident they felt she was the World's Best Grandma. Likewise, Lou Ella was a great sister to her siblings. However, she could be outspoken when she needed to be heard.

Lou Ella developed a work ethic which helped her to provide for her family. Her career jobs included employment at Gold Kist (Pilgrim's Pride) and McDonald's before she joined the food prep team at Popeye's. She was a dedicated employee who honored her commitment up to the day she transitioned. During her time away from the job, Lou-Lou enjoyed listening to music, dancing, and spending quality time with her family.

Lou Ella Arnold Livingston left her forever love for her family, friends, and coworkers when she transitioned from time to eternity Monday evening, July 22, 2024. She has now found "rest beyond the 'River'."

"It broke our hearts to lose you, but you didn't go alone, for part of us went with you, the day God took you Home." Cherishing Lou Ella Arnold
