She attended school in New Auburn and grew up working at Harry’s Store in New Auburn. She married Perry Branville from Sand Creek June 10, 1949. Perry and Ardell traveled and lived all over the west during their young married years while Perry worked in the construction field. They resided and farmed on the family farms in the New Auburn area since the mid 1950‘s until Perry took a job on the Alaska pipeline in the mid-1970s. Ardell was an avid reader, enjoyed playing cards and seeing her grandchildren. They spent many winters in Arizona, but she always looked forward to returning to her home in New Auburn.
