RB and Pat Arnn
70th Anniversary
Coeur d’Alene residents RB and Pat Arnn celebrated their 70th wedding anniversary with family and friends Saturday, June 24, 2017, at the Floating Green restaurant on Lake Coeur d’Alene. High school sweethearts, they were married in Glendale, Calif., on June 20, 1947.
RB and Pat spent many years throughout the western U.S. where RB was a construction superintendent for multiple projects, finally building their first home in Coeur d’Alene in 1973. Some of the local construction firms RB worked for included Mooney & Pugh, H. Halverson, and his own company, Arco Builders.
They raised two sons, Rusty Arnn (Sheila) of Tri-Cities, Mark Arnn (Hope) of Coeur d’Alene and daughter Cheryl Arnn Hill (John) of Carmel, Calif. They have six grandchildren and eight great-grandchildren, many of whom will be joining them this weekend to celebrate.
Congratulations RB and Pat, 88 years old and still in love!
