Ardis was a longtime member of Zion United Church of Christ of Carpentersville. She attended First Christian Church and The Orchard Church when she stayed with her daughters. Until her health began to fail, she enjoyed aquacise, visiting with family and friends, and reading about and looking at birds and other wildlife. She loved dogs, especially her furry companion of more than 15 years, Amy. Travel with her husband, Lee, was a big part of her life, and she also enjoyed travel with her children, going to such places as Caribbean Islands, Mexico, Alaska and Europe, as well as much of the United States. Her grandchildren and great grandchildren brought her much joy, and she loved attending their sporting events and dance recitals.
She also enjoyed attending concerts and theater events with her family, including Neil Diamond and the Bee Gees, as well as being a very ardent Blackhawks fan. Before her retirement in 2004 she worked as a clerk for Jewel grocery stores for over 30 years. Ardis was always in good spirits and was loved by all who were close to her. She is already greatly missed.
