Elmer Lee Arrington

Elmer Lee Arrington, 73 of Ferrum left his sweetheart, son and daughter-in-law, other family and friends on Valentine’s Day, February 14, 2017. He became a Christian as a young teen so we are confident he is home with his Lord. Elmer served with the Rocky Mount Fire Department for seven years, he was a shift supervisor with Ronile where he worked 32 years, and he was also a Franklin County Deputy for many years. In 2000 he co-founded Golden Eagle Vault Company where he was still active. He was preceded in death by his parents, Mack Leroy and Irene Lois Arrington. Left to cherish his memory are his loving wife of 49 years, Brenda Arrington; son, Brian Arrington and his wife, Mandy; extended family, Ed, Cathy, Matt, Christie, and Madison Powers, Pete and Catherine Jones; numerous special cousins; the old guys club; his car club family; and his special stand by you to the end friends, Jerry and Gaye Greene. The family respectfully request no food and casual attire for his service. Flowers will be accepted or memorial donations may be made to the American Diabetes Association or to a charity of choice. Graveside services will be conducted at Mountain View Memorial Park, 1:30 p.m. Friday, February, 17, 2017 with Pastor Terry Covey officiating. His family will receive friends from 12 noon to 1:00 pm. Friday at Flora Funeral Service and Cremation Center, Rocky Mount.
