Rogers City

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. Every weekend she would pack up her kids and they would spend time playing in the water and relaxing. This continued with her grandchildren. She loved to take pictures and explore different Lighthouses. 

Barb will be missed by her husband Peter Ardini, her loving children, James (Jill) Fuhrman, June (Dan) Diediker, Deb (Chris) Paul, Peter Ardini, her sister Kate (Chris), her brother Tom (Kayleen) and her grandchildren Chelsea (Nick), Paul (Sasha), Car (Alyssa), Ryan, Rachel, Jenna, Matthew (Megan), Sidney (Dan), and her great grandchildren Kane, Kassidy and Liljan. 

Barb was predeceased by her parents Robert and Maxine, her first husband Art Fuhrman, her brothers Michael, John and Teddy Baier, her sisters Pat and Mackey, daughter-in-law, Michele Ardini, and her grandson Kyle Ardini. 

A Memorial Service is being planned.
