Ardelle Leona Steimel

To meet Ardelle was to love her. Her spirit, her attitude, her wit. My sincerest sympathy to the family. I know you will deeply miss her. Sincerely, Wilma

This obituary is an excellent description of Ardelle. My favorite memory is from about six years ago when Ardelle came to our house on Clear Lake in Milton for lunch with Laura Engen, Helen Altar, and my mother, Lois Amble (who had moved here the year before). Ardelle was interested in every piece of art in my home and wanted to know the origin and history. She shared many stories of her fascinating travels. She also told tales about my dad, Oscar Amble, and my uncle, Ed Amble, when they were classmates of hers at Holy Cross Lutheran Elementary School. She had an incredible memory. It was an afternoon that I will always treasure. Our family has a very long history with Ardelle. There is no doubt in my mind that she is now living in the presence of God. "He who began a good work in you is faithful to complete it." You are now complete, Ardelle. Her children were extremely close to her. We will remember you all in our payers and see you at the funeral on Wednesday. In Christ, Cindy Amble Lukas

I remember "Sis" from Amato's Holiday House Restaurant on S. Park Street. She waited on me for many years along with Bertha. She was a great waitress and a great person and always had a smile David Branley

Greg and Darlene Herrington When I met Ricks mom , I knew how active she was with her family. She use to tell me about her trips to Copper Harbor with her family, going to the cabin and feeding the bears. I went over to her house on Bartels to get ready for trips to Rhinelander to snowmobile. She was a very hospitable lady. My mom knew her from the old neighborhood. My grandmother knew her as a hard working lady that cared about her kids. She will be missed and God bless her soul. My condolences to Rick, Pat, the sisters and family.

You have our deepest sympathy, thoughts and prayers sent your way at this difficult time., Dennis and Cheryl Ahnen
