ARDIS HAUPT

October 12, 1935 ~ September 6, 2022

Ardis Ann Haupt, beloved wife of the late Johnny Haupt, passed away at the Good Samaritan South Ridge Village in Medicine Hat on Tuesday, September 6, 2022, at the age of 86 years. Ardis was born on October 12, 1935, in Maple Creek, Saskatchewan to Edith and Henry Borman. She was the youngest of four children and grew up on the family farm in the Skull Creek district. Ardis attended school in Skull Creek, Maple Creek and did some of her schooling through correspondence. Later on, she furthered her education in Calgary becoming a lab technician. She worked for a short time in Prince Albert and then in Medicine Hat until 1973. Ardis met her sweetheart, Johnny Haupt, at Beef Club Achievement Day and they were married in December 1957 at St. Mary’s Anglican Church in Maple Creek, having their dance at Star Butte School. They lived at the Haupt farm in the Star Butte district for a short time and then moved to Medicine Hat where they bought a house on Ross Street. In 1961, they bought their farm near Seven Persons, on the open prairie with the creek running threw it. They worked very hard to establish this farm and Ardis took great pride in her home, yard and the many trees she planted. She always loved working in her yard. In 1967, they welcomed a son, Steven and in 1968, a daughter, Stephanie. Ardis was a wonderful and devoted wife, mother, mother-in-law and grandmother and was a talented seamstress, making quilts and clothing for her grandchildren; these things will be cherished forever. Ardis was kind, patient and gentle and her grandchildren loved to spend time with her. In 2013, with health issues looming, Ardis and Johnny moved to Medicine Hat and returned to the farm for two summers until they could no longer live there independently. Ardis was a resident of the Good Samaritan Village for the past five years and the staff there became like family. Ardis’ family will forever be grateful for the love and compassion they showed them. Ardis is survived by her children: son, Steve (Tracy) and their children Paige (Jayson) and Cody; daughter, Stephanie (Jim) and their children Tiffany, Samantha (Brandon) and their boys, Cole and Tyson as well as numerous nieces, nephews and special friends. She was predeceased by John in 2020, and the family takes comfort in knowing they are together again holding hands. ‘Rest peacefully mom, you will forever be in our hearts!’ A private family gathering will be held at a later date.
