I am so sorry to hear of the great loss of a wonderful wife, mother, grandmother, great grandmother and aunt to her family. Ardelle was like a second mom to me from the time I was born and for many years afterwards. I always think of her when I make my bed every day as she taught Kathie and I to make those perfect “hospital corners”! I will forever be thankful to her for being so wonderful to me while growing up and going through many struggles, her and Larry treated me as family. I pray for the family as they morn the loss of such a strong, loving woman. You are all in my thoughts and prayers, she will be greatly missed by all that loved her

Dear Julie,
I didn’t know your Mom. But, from what I’ve read in the previous comments, she was a very special person.
I’m sure she will be greatly missed by many. Most of all her children.
Please accept my heart felt condolences.

So sorry to hear Ardelle has passed, she was such a fun person to be around, I have many memories of get togethers at Aunt Lyda’s and just visiting with her, always a happy lady, she is an angel in heaven and I am sure she is happy to see all the other ones that made her smile, sending love and prayers to Larry and the family. Love Sandy

So sorry to hear of your loss. We have known Ardelle for only a short time. When I first joined the Ladies Guild, she came over and talked to me and explained to me everything that I needed to know. Was very comforting. and we had some enjoyable conversations. We will certainly miss her. We send our prayers and sympathy out to all of her family.
