Barbara J. Ardini, age 84, passed away surrounded by family at My Michigan Medical Center of Alpena.
Barb brought light into everyone’s life, strangers, friends, and family.
Barb was born on July 6, 1940 in West Virginia to Robert and Maxine Baier. After Barbara graduated from Cheboygan High School, she went on to study Nursing in Grand Rapids.
Barb was lucky to have two wonderful marriages. She married Arthur Fuhrman in January 1963 who died on the Cedarville in 1965. In 1966 she met Peter Ardini and they were married in July.
Barb loved to golf, sunrises, and sunsets, reading, and socializing with friends and family. She loved her Cottage on Grand Lake.
