Ardeth E. Glatz

She was born on October 2, 1944 in Libertyville, Illinois, to Arthur and Helen Fink. Ardeth graduated from Libertyville High School and was a member of the Class of 1962.

She married Joseph E. Glatz on April 4, 1964 also in Libertyville, Illinois.

A survivor of polio during childhood, and against all odds, Ardeth went on to raise a family and enjoyed a long career at the IRS. She always appreciated the little things in life as the most meaningful, including playing with her grandchildren, and enjoying nature. In recent years, she discovered a latent aptitude for art and enjoyed painting. She always believed maintaining and positive attitude was more important than circumstances - wisdom she imparted to her progency.

Ardeth was preceded in death by her parents Helen and Arthur Fink.
