Vera was a visiting teacher to my inactive mother, Pauline McCullough. She influenced my mother greatly as she spoke so often about Vera. I was so appreciative. Vera was truly a sister in the gospel. Thank you Vera. JoAnn McCullough

Grandma,
I LOVE YOU SO MUCH AND CONTINUE TO MISS YOU MORE THAN EVER EACH DAY. You have always been my best friend, the best grandmother a girl could have, and my wings through every day of my life. I loved the time that I spent living with you, cherish the memories of being a little girl...dancing on your toes....and trying on your old clothes. I miss our phone conversations, I miss our days together going to fashion square just for fun, cooking every recipe that we could think of just so one day I could take care of my husband, and driving around singing "Something Stupid".....I miss you nana and words can not describe how empty I feel not having your sweet voice on the phone and your arms around me in your hugs. I love you so much and you and our memories will forever stay with me each and every day.

I know I am a better person because I was blessed to know and love this amazing woman. I was truly blessed to have this incredible lady in my life. Since I was 17 yrs old I have known her as a mother and as a friend. She is such a beautiful example to me of courage, faith, honesty and unconditional love. She not only lived the gospel but was such an example to others. Her love and light offered warmth and joy to all of us who experienced her graciousness. She made everyone feel so special. I will remember her words, lessons and love forever. You will forever be in my heart Mom and I know with all of my heart you are blessed and in the loving arms of Heavenly Father. I love you forever and my love and prayers go out to all of the family.

It was a pleasure to know & visit Ardith. She was across the hall from our friend, Norma Valentine. We loved to see her and remember her for many years of service in the Scottsdale Wards.
May the family find comfort in knowing they will see this sweet lady again. This is the joy of the Gospel at this trying time!

I am so thankful that Heavenly Father sent me to be on earth at the same time as Ardith and that we would end up in the same ward in Scottsdale, AZ. so that I could learn and glean from all of her many talents through our friendship and as we served together in the church. I learned at her service today that we were baptized in the same year. She will be forever in my heart for reasons too numerous for me to mention here. I loved her dearly. Sincerely, Judy Woodbury

My mother was a "recluse" and allowed very few people to ever visit her. Ardith and Cora were only 2 of maybe 4 sisters that she allowed to give visiting teaching message. My mother expressed her love for Ardith and Cora many times and I know treasured the time that these sweet sisters would take in sharing their testimonies of the church. I am indeed grateful for Ardith. Sincerely, JoAnn McCullough

We will always have very fond memories of this beautiful lady. She was so gracious and generous. She was loved by all those who came in contact with her. Don't get me started on the food she prepared for the members. Condolences to all who share the loss.
