We are so very sad for you today as you remember Ardelle. She was such a sweet lady, always had a sparkle in her eye, a lovely smile, and adored her family. Though we all know she is in a beautiful place now, it's so hard to lose those that make up the truest part of our family, our memories, and what feels like home. Ardelle was and always will be a cherished part of our community, and I hope your fond memories with her and the place she has in all our hearts helps your grieving turn into a celebration of her life with time. Bless you all, and know that we send our hugs and prayers!

Paul and family,
We're so sorry for your loss. We have many fond memories of Ardelle and your family from the farm and when visiting parents.

While I only met Ardelle three times, there are two things that I will remember about her. She had a very sweet, gentle spirit and beautiful twinkling eyes.

While Bob and I only know a small portion of the Vaira family, our heartfelt sympathy goes out to ALL of you.

She will be sorely missed, but her great legacy will live on in her four sons, her grandchildren, and her great-grandchildren. They are a wonderful legacy to leave for our world.

I have so many great memories of Ardele and am so sad to hear of her passing. She was my second ‘mom’ and helped me become the person I am today.
The first time I ever saw anything born, Ardele and I were together watching her little dog Pepper having puppies. Ardele was just as excited as I was watching the puppies being born.
About the same time, I was maybe 12 years old, I accidentally broke a gallon jug of cooking oil on the floor of the basement kitchen. Her first reaction was laughter! She kept laughing as we tried to keep the oil from running under the stove. I learned that laughter is the best way to handle many sticky situations.
Once, I road my horse to visit and found an almost dead kitten only a few weeks old along the way. Ardele got an eye dropper and we tried feeding the poor little thing. The kitten wouldn’t take milk or rice or several other things we tried. Finally, Ardele opened a can of tuna and the kitty drank a little of the oil. Ardele and I enjoyed the tuna sandwiches too! The kitten was saved and Ardele helped me persuade my mom to let me keep it as a house pet.
I remember my Mom, Sharon and Ardele being together often. Their hands preparing food or working on some project or other and their love and support of each other. Most of all I remember them laughing, and laughing and laughing!

So sorry to hear about Ardelle. I always enjoyed visiting with her and Paul. Both were always so kind to my parents too.
