Larry, I wanted to extend my deepest sympathies. I played canasta with Ardis. Met her at temple and instantly connected with her. When the pandemic hit, I reached out to her right away to join my sister and friends in our weekly on line games. She was always willing to play. She added a lot to our games. Smart as a whip and always gracious. She truly was one of the kindest people I have ever met with the biggest heart. You were right when you said, she was all about everyone else. She was. I was stunned to hear of her passing, we had not spoken in a while. I am so deeply sorry. I will miss her. Please take care.  Donna Platt

So sorry to read of Ardis's passing. I knew her through our Hadassah group. She was a warm, loving & caring person. May she rest in "shalom".

Ardis was one of the most intelligent, hard working, and generous person I have known.  For the many years of working together, she shared many stories, and know how much she loved and cared about her family.  She was an inspiration to me personally and professionally and will be dearly missed.  

With my Deepest Sympathy,
April Mandernach

I have worked with Ardis for over 30 years at the Advocate ACL laboratories.  She was an awesome mentor for me all these years in the Genetics dept.  She will be missed !!
Larry,  enjoy all the memories that you had with her with all of your trips.  I have enjoyed her stories of all of your trips. 



Hi Larry it’s the hardest experience loosing a loved one! A wife backbone of family, she will be missed! Friend from Palatine Senior Center

I worked with Ardis at ACL lab.  She was very passionate about her work.  Patient care and safety was her priority.  She appreciated team  members with compassion.  Thank you for all your services at the ACL Cytogenetics Lab of Advocate Aurora Healthcare. 
Rest in peace Ardis! 

Sending so much love and healing for a  soul remembered. May Ardis’ memory be for a blessing.❤️

Dear Beverly and Larry:
I am so saddened to learn of Ardis's passing.  And yet I am so grateful to have had the chance to visit with the 3 of you together all looking terrific this past May 2022.  Ardis made me feel like a million dollars for having come to visit Beverly.  But it was I who was receiving the gift of ALL your company and hospitality at Beverly's home.
  
Ardis was a super nice, down to earth person.  I have great childhood memories of Sally and Julius and Beverly and Ted and ARDIS.  My wife, Naoko, only met Ardis twice, but was also impressed with Ardis's very friendly and caring nature.  Ardis was the first in my generation of the family to get married, and she found a terrific forever partner.  Her life was a blessing to everyone whom she touched, and she will remain in my fondest memories.

I will attend the livestreamed service tomorrow.  Please take comfort in knowing what a terrific wife, daughter, and cousin we all were blessed with.

With love, Jeff and Cathy Newman
