Ronald and Ardis were divorced in 1950. Ardis worked for many years as a cook at the Brooks Grade School, until she retired to take care of her elderly parents.

Ardis was a member of the Brooks Congregational Church Ladies Aid, New Chester Church, the Brooks Card Club, and the Brooks Homemakers. She enjoyed playing cards, especially 500 and crazy eights with friends and relatives that would stop in for a game around the dining room table. Her grandchildren were especially fond of their grandmother’s peanut butter cookies and pie making skills.

and special friend Tiny, her dog.
