Biography

Ardis Jean Roppel was born on 18 December 1934 to Francis Leroy Roppel and Gladys Mae Gano. She married Clifton Delmont Shepherd in 1957.[1] They had 2 known children. Their second child, Anthony Charles, died in his crib on Christmas 1959.[2] Ardis was an RN and a superintendent at the Hollis Convalescent Home in the 1950s to early 1960s. She appears in the local paper as the hostess of numerous social events. It is unclear when her marriage ended, but in December 1963, her husband posted a public notice in the paper disavowing any debts she owed. The ad ran once a week from 26 December 1963[3] to 9 January 1964.[4] Ardis later married Charles Alvin Huckaby in 1982.[5] She remained active in her community throughout the 1980s; she and her husband both served in various local and state offices with the VFW. Ardis died on 22 August 1988 in Tulsa, Oklahoma.[6] She is buried alongside her husband at Chouteau Cemetery in Chouteau, Oklahoma[7]
