Mardell enjoyed working part-time at Brown Deer High School as a dietary aid. She was also a member of the Brown Deer Boosters.

Two days were very important to Mardell, her wedding anniversary, May 26, and August 22, the day she lost her Donald. She honored both dates by traveling to Port Washington and placing flowers in Lake Michigan where Donald loved to fish.

Spending time in Florida visiting her two youngest sons and families along with traveling around the country visiting friends with Donald were very special times. Mardell loved to attend sporting events with her children, Badgers, Packers & Brewers were some of her favorites. She loved Anna Maria Island, Florida and invited family to stay with her and enjoy the beach and sun! Mardell continued to be active throughout her life by swimming, water aerobics, biking, tennis, golf and walking.
