Obituary

Arthur Womble was born on November 10, 1928. He departed this earthly life on Saturday, June 29 2019.

Art lost his mother very early in life and was on his own by the age of 15. He worked hard at many jobs from tree trimmer to short order cook to finally retiring as the Supervisor of Utilities for the City of Mt. Dora. One of his proudest accomplishments was starting Light Up Mt. Dora. The beloved Christmas legacy has grown bigger and brighter over the years. He enjoyed golfing and bragged of his getting a hole in one the first time on a golf course! He enjoyed golfing with his close neighborhood friends each week and also golfed throughout the U.S. including Palm Springs, Hawaii and Pebble Beach. Art was the love of Sharon’s life. He was strong, loving, kind, giving and always fun to be around. He was an amazing husband, father and the best Papa in the world. Sharon & Art met dancing 25 years ago. One look in his eyes and Sharon knew she would love him forever – more than yesterday, less than tomorrow. Art & Sharon’s biggest gift was to unite friends and family for gatherings. Everyone was welcomed and their home has enjoyed so many warm celebrations!

    Art was a mentor of mine at First Baptist Mount Dora for many years. He coached me in baseball and his son Ken was my catcher. Art has a tremendous influence in my faith walk. Thank you Art for your leadership and friendship over the years. Rest well good and faithful servant

    Art was such an integral part of my childhood because his son Ken and I grew up in church together. He left such an impact on Mt Dora and so many of us personally. Praying for comfort , Sharon, for the void his passing will leave in your life . You took such great care of him in his last years .

    We are so sorry for your loss. Tim and I have many fond memories of Art ... from neighborhood gatherings, hanging out in the “back room”, golf outings, and just general mischief. Art will be greatly missed but we know he is dancing in heaven and watching over us all.
