Meet our
Resident of the Month
Dewey Arnold was born and
raised in LaGrange, Wyo. Growing
up, Dewey was the eldest of six
children. Upon graduating from
high school, Dewey and his family
moved to Missouri, where his
mother had been raised.
After his family moved to
Missouri, Dewey was set up on a
blind date with Lois Steward. In 1958, surrounded by family and
friends, the couple were married in a beautiful August ceremony.
Together, Dewey and Lois decided that Missouri was the perfect
place to live and raise a family.
Dewey has always had a love for agriculture. He spent most of
his career operating a farm, before deciding to become a crop
insurance adjuster. After his retirement from agriculture, Dewey
worked maintenance for an apartment complex and drove school
bus. Eventually he worked for Community Springs Healthcare
Facility as the courtesy van driver. In February 2013, just 10 day
before Lois lost her battle with cancer, the couple decided to
make Community Springs Healthcare Facility their home.
Dewey enjoys woodworking, attending church and spending
time with his family, especially his grandchildren and greatgrandchildren. He enjoys picking pecans and walnuts and is
known for his sense of humor. Dewey currently serves as the
resident mail man and can be found engaged in a friendly game
of dominoes. Thank you Dewey for being our Resident of the
Month!
