In Loving Memory of T. Ardele Shaltz

A Life That Gave Warmth, Hugs, and Hope

Ardele had a way of lighting up a room with her genuine smile, open arms, and the warmest hugs, making everyone she met feel seen, special, and worthy. Whether it was as a devoted mother and "Geemie" to her grandchildren, a trusted friend across the country, or as a community leader, she carried kindness with her everywhere she went. Her servant's heart led her to serve on school boards, volunteer as a literacy tutor, and support causes that made a real impact in people's lives, especially children.

Ardele believed deeply in compassion and community, serving as a Children's Miracle Network phone Bank coordinator in her support of Hurley Foundation and Hurley Children's Hospital, where every child's story matters and every moment of care creates a miracle.

In lieu of flowers, her family asks that you honor Ardele's legacy of love and giving by supporting Children's Miracle Network at Hurley Foundation in her memory. Your gift will help bring smiles, critical care, and Hope to children and families at Hurley Children's Hospital, Miracles Ardele would have whole heartedly embraced.
