Mark and Char, you have my sympathies. Such a lovely lady! I had just a brief time to meet her and I know that she was so appreciative of your care for her concerns throughout her life and especially here in New Richmond.
Mark and Char….Our deepest sympathy to you and your family.

My sincere condolences to the family. I worked with Mardell for many years. She was a dear friend. I’ll miss her phone calls. Rest in peace my friend. 🙏
Mark, Char, and family, please know that I and my family are thinking of you all! Mardell was an incredibly important person in my life, for as long as I can remember. My kids knew her as Aunt Mardell, as that is what she was to me, Aunt Mardell. She was always there and offered many insights as I got older. I always appreciated her ability to be direct and would tell you exactly what she was thinking. We will all miss her greatly.
Mardell was the first person to befriend my mom and I when we came to The Deerfield. She was so sweet and kind to my mother that I instantly loved her. I am guessing that is the way everyone felt who knew her. I hope her and my mom are playing bingo right now ❤️
