Arthur William Carnahan, age 82, born October 13, 1941 in Paso Robles, Calif., to Clarence and Annabelle, nee Wilson, Carnahan, passed away March 27, 2024 at his home in Shiloh, Ill.

Art grew up one of seven children, the son of an Army Colonel; therefore, he moved around a lot as a child. He attended high school in Tacoma, Wash., and later, University of Puget Sound and University of Seattle. As a young man, Art helped his father to manage and maintain various rental properties. As an adult, Art worked for Weyerhauser in the Tacoma area; then, in the mid-1970s, he managed a large senior living development in Missouri and later in Fort Worth, Texas. In 1993, Art and his wife, Norma, settled on ten acres on the east side of Carlyle Lake. They enjoyed their time at the lake until their final move to Shiloh, where they have made great friends in their neighborhood.

Surviving are his wife Norma, nee Plotts, Carnahan; sons Dr. Jeffrey (Mollie) Carnahan of Arlington, Texas, and Jay (Cari) Carnahan of Byrns Mill, Mo.; six grandchildren, and their dog Brandy.
