Ardith Colleen Dunlap
October 13, 1951 – April 8, 2025
Ardith Colleen Dunlap, 73, passed away peacefully on April 8, 2025. She was the loving wife of John Dunlap, mother of Rick (Jen), stepmother to Holly (Kurt) and Kelsey (Joy), and a proud grandmother of eight and great-grandmother of three. She was preceded in death by her great-grandson, Mayson Michael, and her brother, Herbert Roth.
Ardith was born to Donna Hudson and Archibald Reedle. She is survived by her sister, Donna (Ken), and many nieces, nephews, and friends who will miss her dearly.
Ardith's life was filled with love for her family, fishing, travel, and crafts. She touched the hearts of all who knew her with her kindness, creativity, and joy for life.
A celebration of her life will be held at 11:00 a.m. on April 25, 2025, at Danekas Funeral Chapel in Chewelah, Washington, with a graveside service to follow. A reception will be held afterward.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations to Hospice House of Spokane in her memory.
She will be deeply missed and forever in our hearts.
