Ardie was a remarkable and influential force in the duplicate bridge community. She wanted her own club to be warm and welcoming as well as producing high quality bridge. She worked very hard to successfully accomplish that. Ardie is solely responsible for persistently leading my partner and me into the realm of duplicate and we are forever grateful. Ardie was also an incredibly good sport and was willing to participate in an Iowa City British Car Club Christmas party skit as the queen of England!! With her beautiful hair, crown, purse, pearls and confidence, she rocked the part, even " knighting" some of the British Car drivers. The club will never forget her entrance to "God Save the Queen". She looked like the queen and played the part with abandon. She was in her 80s. Bless you and your fun spirit, Ardie. RIP. Diane Sondergard

Don't believe she was ever without a smile on her face......she will be remembered and missed.

We will miss you Aunty Ardie, you gave us a new flavor of life !Say hello to Swede for us and we miss him to .Now that you have reunited with your family, They now have you to take charge of things! God Bless you.

So sorry to hear about Aunt Ardee. She is with my dad and all her siblings. She will be missed. I have many fond memories of my aunt. I have a photo of her, Aunt Tillie and my dad I'd like to post.

Dear Barb and Nancy

I have so many fond memories of Aunt Ardee. Many fun summers spent at your house. I am so grateful for all of the visits she made to California in later years to visit Mom. We had fun wine tasting, eating out and shopping, trips to Tahoe, just a bit of gambling. One day Ardee took off (shall I say stole) Moms car to travel to Santa Rosa to play bridge. She could not be without it. I loved her wit but most of all her zest for life. She was so proud of her beautiful daughters and grandchildren and often spoke of your achievements. There will never be another like her. I send my love and hugs to you all. I treasure the memories.

Last night I was having some issues with transmission of the TV. I think it was her saying good-bye, until we meet again.

Much love

Cousin Gloria Hubbell
