Obituary

Audrey Best Archibald of Fort Pierce, Florida died Thursday, February 4, 2010 at the age of 100 at the Community Care Nursing Home of Rutherford County. Her death was the result of complications from a fall during a visit to family in Murfreesboro during the Christmas 2009 holiday. She was born in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma in 1909, moved to Morocco, Indiana as a child and lived there much of her life. She married Theodore L. Archibald from Morocco in 1930 and lived in Arlington Heights, Illinois where they had two children. Son, David Archibald died in 1951, and daughter Marilynn Kay Archibald Green died in 1997. She and her husband, Ted had been married for 67 years upon his passing, also in 1997. She is also preceded in death by a brother, Reginald Best and a sister, Imogene Best Vanderwall. She is survived by four grandchildren, Linda Munch, Plymouth, Minnesota; David Green, Houston, Texas; Betsy Taylor, Murfreesboro, Tennessee; and, Karen Cook, Murfreesboro, Tennessee, who are the children of Marilynn Archibald Green and Robert Green. Also surviving her are ten great grandchildren and many nieces and nephews in Indiana and Wisconsin. Mrs. Archibald worked for a short period during World War II, and was a devoted mother and housewife her entire time. Upon their retirement in 1963, the Archibald's traveled the country, and developed a love of painting landscapes and vistas in many of the nation's parks. They would winter at their residence in Homestead, Florida, eventually moving there permanently until 1992 when their home was destroyed by Hurricane Andrew. They then relocated to Fort Pierce, Florida. Mrs. Archibald was a devoted and longtime member of the Midway Road Church of Christ in Fort Pierce, and attended the Northfield Church of Christ when visiting family in the Murfreesboro area. A memorial service is being planned for Saturday, February 20, 2010, at 11:00am at the Midway Road Church of Christ in Fort Pierce, Florida. Minister Don McBrayer will be officiating. Cremation and other arrangements have been handled by Woodfin Memorial Chapel. The family asks that in lieu of flowers, a donation be made to Midway Road Church of Christ, 3040 W. Midway Rd., Fort Pierce, FL 34981.
