Ardyce was a delightful coworker in Shelton. She was also Blaine“s second grade teacher. He enjoyed having her as his teacher. Many days he would say, "Mrs. Arnold says..." followed by a nugget of wisdom or a life lesson. She gently guided her students yet always kept control. Sending our condolences to her family, friends and students.

Ardyce was a wonderful teacher. She was very quiet and soft spoken but still very firm with her students when she needed to be. She was one of my oldest daughters' favorite teachers and when she became a teacher, Ardyce gave her some of her books. May her memories bring you joy and comfort at this time.
