Ardelle Mae Walsh, the daughter of Erick and Celia (Rommereim) Thormodsgard was born October 18, 1921 in Bowdon, North Dakota. She attended school and graduated from Bowdon High School in 1939 and went on to beauty school in Fargo, North Dakota. After graduation in 1940, she moved to Minneapolis and worked as a beautician until 1952.
On March 14, 1952, she was united in marriage to Edward Walsh. Ardelle and Eddie made their home in Minneapolis. In 1967, Ardelle started working for the Minneapolis School System as a Secretary at South High School. She retired from that position in 1981. The couple enjoyed several winters at Apache Junction, AZ, as well as spending 15 years at their Eagle Lake cabin. Ardelle and Eddie shared 41 years of marriage before he passed away in August of 1993. In 2004, Ardelle moved to Glenwood to be closer to her immediate family. To her last breath, she was a passionate Christian and a model of courage!
Ardelle enjoyed traveling, walking, baking, cooking, cross stitch, knitting, quilting and sewing. Ardelle loved the Minnesota Twins and she made Homer Hanky Pillows for many of her family members.
