Ardie Vallem, 60, after fighting her battle with glioblastoma, gallantly dancing into the gates of Heaven on Wednesday, August 2, 2023 to be met by her Savior and final dance partner, Jesus Christ.

A celebration of life was held at Pratt Community Hall 140 N. Park St. Richland Center, on Tuesday, August 8, 2023, from 2:00 PM until 4:00 PM with a time of sharing at 3:00 PM. Ardie wanted to thank all those who helped her in her final days, especially Robin DeFabbio and Annie Ewing, who sat with her for countless hours, an eternal thank you. She requests those attending wear purple, her favorite color. In lieu of flowers, those wanting to make financial memorials can do so to the Walk with Grace Foundation. The Pratt Funeral and Cremation Service is assisting the family with their arrangements.
