Ardelle Stemmer

To Bob, Peggy, Letitia,Mike, Maureen, John, Patrick and Christopher. I am heart-sick and deeply pained to learn of Ardelle's death. I last saw Ardelle in 1997, when I invited her and her children to my home in Indy, for a visit. I always admired and loved her. Her laugh and her wonderful smile comes to mind when I think of Ardelle. She was one of the kindest people, with one of the purest spirits, I ever knew! I never heard Ardelle say an unkind word about anyone and during a conversation with her, she would be so attentive and was truly interested in what you had to say. I'm praying for you all tonight. I'm so sorry for your loss and the loss of all who knew and loved your daughter and sister. May God comfort you and bring you through your pain and sorrow ~ Christyna (Kunkel) Barker

Words cannot express our deepest sympathies for your family and this tragic loss. We have many wonderful childhood memories of all of you and are sending Angels of comfort to you all. Ardelle's smile and sweet spirit, her thoughtful and generous nature are how I remember her and her beauty was inside and out. May God bring you through this grief until you meet again. Lee Ann and Greg Newton

To All of You, Words cannot express how sorry I am about Ardelle's death. My memories are ones of hearing her laugh and how much fun she was. One funny memory was when we had arrived to visit after a long drive from GA. We had some cheese that was in a cooler. The ice had melted the cheese had softened and was not very appetizing to look at. Ardelle picked it up and said, "you need to put this thing in the fridge and get it right." For some reason, and we all know that it was because it was the WAY Ardelle said things, that was the funniest thing ever and that was always a story that we told and laughed. I will always remember her happiness and hard work at Mountainview - and laughter, even in the tough situations. I remember she always seemed to enter the house at holidays with flair, maybe (ok, usually) a bit late. Again, laughing all the way in. May your best memories eventually carry you beyond this horrible time. Again, I am sorry for your grief and your loss. Pete

Jennifer and I are so sorry for your loss. I pray that Ardelle is at peace. I know that she had been in deep pain for many long years as this world took a heavy toll from her as she searched for understanding and grace. I will always remember her smile and laugh. We are praying for all of you. Grace and Peace, Jim Williams.
