Earl Junior Arrowood

Earl Junior Arrowood, beloved father who was a blessing to his family and will be missed deeply, age 77, of Cornelia, entered into rest on Sunday, November 2, 2025. He was born on August 8, 1948, in Cleveland, to the late Clyde Arrowood and Ethel Pauline Nation Arrowood Freeman.

Earl will be remembered for his generous heart, strong will, and unwavering devotion to his family. He had a gift for fixing almost anything and was always willing to lend a helping hand to others. He was a great father who led by example—steady, dependable, and always there when he was needed. His memory will be cherished forever by those who knew and loved him.

He is survived by his son and daughter-in-law, Timothy Earl and Michelle Arrowood of Clarkesville; son, Scott Arrowood of Cornelia; grandchildren, Dylan and Ashlan Arrowood, Carly, Olivia, and Sarah Arrowood; brothers, Jimmy Clyde Arrowood (Clara) of Cleveland, Timmy Gene Arrowood, and Clarence Arrowood (B.J.), all of Cornelia; great-grandchildren, and many nieces, nephews, and friends who will miss him deeply.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Clyde Arrowood and Ethel Pauline Nation Arrowood Freeman; infant siblings, Connie and David Arrowood; sister, Barbara Armour; brother, Stanley Richard Arrowood; and sister, Joyce Ann Patricia Jones.

After many years of dedicated service, Earl retired from Mar-Jac Poultry. He found great enjoyment in the outdoors, and one of the greatest pleasures of his life was hunting with his children and grandchildren. Whether in the woods or simply spending time together, he found peace and happiness surrounded by the people he loved most.
