February 21, 1936 — March 15, 2022

MOUNT PLEASANT- Ardis Ogilvie, 86, of Mount Pleasant, died Tuesday, March 15, 2022, at New London Specialty Care.

Ardis was born February 21, 1936, in St. Croix Falls, Wisconsin, the daughter of Henry and Amy (Bonderson) Jacobson. She graduated from high school in Taylors Falls, Minnesota, and earned a degree in nursing from Bethesda School of Nursing. On May 24, 1958, Ardis was united in marriage to Guy Ogilvie in Taylors Falls, Minnesota. The couple moved to Mount Pleasant in 1974. Ardis worked as a nurse in several hospitals prior to moving to Mount Pleasant, and in nursing homes in the Mount Pleasant area where she was Director of Nursing: Pleasant Manor, Maple Leaf Manor and Parkview Home in Wayland.  She also worked as a receptionist for Dr. John Hart, where she finally retired at the age of 80.
