Teresa  Lynn Arnold, 70, of Burlington, died Thursday, November 13, 2025, at the Southeast Iowa Regional Hospice House in West Burlington.

Born January 10, 1955, in Burlington, she was the daughter of Warren and Rosemary (Hamilton) Wade. On May 15, 1976 she married Mark Arnold at St. John Catholic Church in Burlington.

Terri worked for many years helping to run Arnold Refrigeration with her husband, Mark.  She had an incredibly kind heart and loved helping as many people as she could through gifts of crochet, clothing, and helping with Toys for Tots donations.  She was proud to host several foreign exchange students.  Terri loved the water; whether that was spending time on the island of Anguilla, or just watching the river roll by, it gave her peace.  Moreover, she loved her family and enjoyed spending as much time with her husband, children and grandchildren as she could.

Survivors include her husband of 49 years, Mark; children, Jacob (Stacey Coleman) Arnold and Amanda (John Morrison) Johnson; grandchildren, Madlyn (Riley) Gilpin, Ava Arnold, Eli Johnson, Ren Arnold, and Lillian Johnson.

She was preceded in death by her parents. 

The family will receive friends for visitation from 4 to 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, November 18, 2025, at Prugh Funeral Service, 3940 Division Street.

Cremation will be entrusted to the care of Prugh Crematory following the service.

Memorial contributions are suggested to either the Southeast Iowa Regional Hospice House or the Des Moines County Humane Society.

Please continue to keep Terri's family in your thoughts during this difficult time.
