and Iowa. She had had a stroke just before her birthday and wasn't able to thank people personally as she would have liked. While she got back on her feet after the stroke, she fell in October, 2017 and was placed under hospice care. Linda was able to still care for her at home. Her son John and his wife Margaret were able to see her in October and Margaret and her daughter Loraine were there with her at Christmas. Ardis loved being outside, having her garden and her flowers. The gardens might have gotten smaller as she got older, but they were still enjoyed tremendously. She was an excellent seamstress and made prom and bridesmaid dresses, eventually turning to quilting for her church groups. She is survived by her children, John, Linda and Loraine, four grandchildren and three great grandchildren.
