Ardella Taggart

Dear Tom, Allen, and Sharon;
It is hard to see all the old guard winding down. Ardella was a fun and happy Aunt who seemed to smile all the time. She sure made me feel at home every time I came to your home. We love you all.
Paul Taggart and Family

Grandma was the definition of unconditional love. I have nothing but fond memories that I will hold close to my heart for years and years to come. Anne, Sam, Rebecca and I were so fortunate to have such a loving woman in our lives for so long. We love you G'Gma!

Ardella was my grandma, and was the nicest, most gentle person I've ever known. She was a tremendous influence in my life, and I'll do my best to instill those same qualities of graciousness and strength in my children. She'll forever live in my heart and the hearts of everyone who loved her. -- Anne Brand

Tom, This is very sad news, forwarded by a friend in Sun City. You and Ardella were always most kind to me, in work and at the Symphony; I know that 65 years of memories will be pleasant, and that she will be missed in your life. Bruce Ellison, Albuquerque

I am so glad that I knew her. She was such a sweet lady and I cherish the times we shared. I don't think she had a mean bone in her body and loved her family so much. I feel truly blessed to have been a part of some of your family's celebrations. Love you all

By the very nature of who she was, Ardella taught everyone around her what it means to be truly kind, to embrace and appreciate life and live respectfully. She was a gentle
woman of great intelligence, dignity and strength. We will miss her deeply and honor her daily as we strive to live the way she did. Ardella was a spectacular mother and wife, a loving grandmother and the best mother in law anyone could want.

A beautiful woman who I was honored to have as mother in law. She was indeed someone who embodied grace, sweet disposition and love. We will miss her, and will try for the rest of our lives to live up to the example she set for us.
