Michele Renee Ardini

Michele Renee Ardini, 58, of De Pere, passed away unexpectedly on December 12, 2021. Michele was born February 9, 1963, in Hancock, Michigan to Joseph and Beatrice Morin (Butina). She was the second of five children. She graduated from Houghton High School in 1981.  She then attended Northern Michigan University where she received a Legal Secretary Associate's Degree in 1983. 

She married the love of her life, Peter Ardini, on August 20, 1994. They later moved from Houghton, Michigan to De Pere, Wisconsin where they would build their life together. They had two beautiful sons who were her pride and joy. Michele enjoyed the change of seasons, especially early winter scenes with snow on the trees. She followed hockey closely and pursued a simple, gentle life.  Her greatest joy in life was her family. 

In 2011, Michele and Peter suffered the loss of their oldest son, Kyle. She was an amazing mother and devoted herself to raising her younger son, Ryan. She was exceedingly proud of him.
