Patty and family and the rest of Ardis’s family……I am so saddened to read this news. I only met her a couple of times, but the joy she shared with those around her was so uplifting. May the many wonderful memories you have help ease some of the pain you are feeling at this time. Know that the Lord has His arms around you and will be with you always. Tears are the words that you can’t say…so let them flow, as they also are healing. Blessings to each of you as you go forward without this lovely lady on earth, but know that she is in her heavenly home and with each of you in your hearts.

Kathy Winter says
I was saddened to hear Ardis passed away. I met Ardis in 2006 when I moved into the house across her on Merrill Street. I enjoyed chatting with her about gardening and the books we read. Her quilts were beautiful. I loved her sense of humor. She will be missed. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

My grandmother was one of a kind. The greatest gift she gave me was her dimples. She always made you feel special for even the smallest moments. One of my favorite ways we kept in touch was receiving and sending her letters and pictures in the mail. She would often cut articles out of the Hutch Leader and mail them to me. I miss her smile, her laugh, and the way she always made me feel important.
