Died:
Arnold Hayes Walls, 98, of Coalfield, went to his heavenly home on Monday, November 26, 2012. He was Morgan County's oldest veteran and was recognized by both former State Senator Tommy Kilby and former US Congressman Lincoln Davis. On November 11, 2012, he was recognized with a plaque honoring him as the oldest WWII veteran in the county.

Arnold was the first of eleven children born to Robert C. and Maggie McGlothin Walls and therefore inherited the awesome responsibility of a role model for his siblings. His parents and siblings; Wilson (Dude), Jack D., William (Bud), Shirley, Irene, Robert Jr., Alma Jones, Susie Ward and George Walls all preceded him in death. He is survived by a sister, Louise Crowe.

Mr. Walls married his childhood sweetheart, Anna Mae Phillips and they enjoyed over 60 years together. They were one of the most caring and sharing couples in the community and in their church. No other home had any more friends and relatives feast at their table. God blessed this Christian couple with three sons; Don (Yvonne), Royce (Wanda), and Shannon (Glenda) Walls, and by three daughters; Sandra Marcom (Deceased), Brenda Jackson (Charles), Melanie Walls and a special caregiver, Angie Potts.

Following 65 years of marriage, Arnold lost his beloved wife.

He visited often and checked on his friends daily with a call. He was most generous with his time and money for those in need. He witnessed to numerous people leading many to the Lord.

Serving his country in the US Navy, he was aboard the USS McClellan when the peace treaty was signed.

He was a member of Middle Creek Baptist Church where he served in many positions including Sunday School Teacher for 50 years and as a deacon for over 60 years.

He was a vital link in the prayer chain and a valuable asset to the church visitation ministry, especially to the elderly and shut-ins. He has earned the respect of all who knew him, especially his 17 grandchildren, 31 great-grandchildren and 5 great-great-grandchildren.

Arnold was a charter member of the Coalfield High School Rochelle Scholarship Board where he served for many years. He worked at Union Carbide before founding his own coal and trucking company from which he retired.

The family will receive friends, Wednesday, November 28, 2012, between the hours of 6:00 and 8:00 pm, at Middle Creek Baptist Church, Coalfield. The funeral will follow at 8:00 pm, with grandson, Rev. Brian Walls and great-grandsons Curtis Adkinns and Colt Jackson participating. Pastor Ronald Guthrie will officiate.
