Ardise Louise (Moyer) Jurgens, 88, of Humboldt, Nebraska was born on February 3, 1937, in rural Humboldt, Nebraska to Elmer and Mabel (Snell) Moyer. She was raised in Humboldt with her family and attended Humboldt Public Schools. After moving to Pawnee County in the winter of 1953, Ardise met her future husband Gehde Jurgens who was playing Santa Clause for a country school. She attended high school in Pawnee City for her senior year and graduated from Pawnee City High School with the class of 1955.

On January 8, 1956, Ardise was united in marriage to Gehde Jurgens. To this union four daughters, Lois, Linda, Laura, and Loretta were born. The couple raised their family and farmed north of Summerfield, Kansas until 1983. They moved back to Beatrice where Ardise worked at the Martin Luther Home and

BSDC as a CMA. In 1993, they retired and moved to Humboldt where Ardise has lived since. Gehde passed away in 2012 on the morning of his and Ardise's 56th wedding anniversary. Ardise continued to live in Humboldt where she loved spending time with her family, especially her grandchildren. She lived right across the street from the school in Humboldt and enjoyed seeing not only her grandchildren, but the many friends that would stop by over the years. Ardise enjoyed gardening, flowers, Husker volleyball, and watching all the activities of her family. She will always be remembered and cherished for her unique sense of humor.
