Molly Arndt

After many months of fighting cancer, Molly Jo Arndt passed away Saturday, June 21, 2025. She was born July 18, 1951, in Washington County, a daughter of the late Arnie and Ruth Kruse Spitzer.

Molly was incredibly strong, hardworking and independent. Many did not even know she was fighting this tough battle. While undergoing treatments she continued to live life to the fullest-never wanting anything to be different nor change because of cancer. She enjoyed working in her yard, spending time with her grandkids, and working at one of her many jobs. If you knew Molly you knew she had to stay busy, you may have even heard, "you cannot sit around, got to keep moving."

One of her many jobs was Cattleman's Brenham Livestock, previously Port City Stock Yards and Cattleman's Columbus Livestock Auction. Another was Switzer Auction Services; she took pride in doing a great job and running a smooth sales office. She also enjoyed her time at Washington Animal Clinic where she groomed dogs once a week.

Molly is survived by her daughters, Jennifer McGinley and husband, Jess, and Jill Arndt and Bo Baade all of Brenham; longtime companion, Durward McDuffie; grandchildren: Taylor Grimm, Logan Grimm, Calley Pershall and husband Justin, Blyss McGinley, Cade Baade and Reese Baade; and three great-grandchildren: Baige, Brandon and Emily; sisters: Sunne Wheaton of Brenham, Judy Seligman of Houston.

Molly is preceded in death by her parents, and her first husband and the father of her daughters, L.J. Arndt.

A Memorial Service for Molly Arndt will be 6:30 p.m., Wednesday, June 25, 2025, at Memorial Oaks Chapel, with Steve Westbrook officiating. Visitation will begin at 5 p.m. Wednesday until service time at Memorial Oaks Chapel.

Memorials may be given to Hospice Brazos Valley, 302 E Blue Bell Rd, Brenham, TX 77833.
