Ardyce was born to Chester & Beverly (Hoots) Zweigle on March 27, 1949 in Harvey North Dakota. Ardyce was raised on a family farm west of Harvey. She graduated from Harvey High School in 1967. During her school years she was active in singing with the choir and in band. She was involved in 4H and presented projects at the Wells County Fair winning ribbons.
Ardyce attended NDSU and while in Fargo she met her future husband. She was united in marriage to Daryl G. Snyder on January 10, 1971 in Harvey, ND. They moved to Montana, living in several communities where Daryl worked as a meat cutter in grocery stores then advancing to an Inspector. With their many moves they were in Sioux Falls, SD, Fargo, ND, and Worthington, MN, then to Minot, ND and finally they settled in New Rockford, ND together, enjoying their final home.
For many years Ardyce sold Home Interiors, helping beautify other people’s homes and her own. She worked at Vorland Land Company as their office secretary and was a licensed Real Estate Agent.

A special lady who will be missed.
Rest in peace dear Ardyce
Ardyce’s active efforts as treasurer for CNDSTR (steam threshers reunion) are missed. Ardyce took on so many different roles contributing to this amazing community event.
Personally I already miss her bright smile and her scurrying around to accomplish so much.
I can only offer my most sincere condolences to all those that loved and knew Ardyce
Every board, every commission, every committee, every city should have an Ardyce working for them. They would find out how to get things done. Rest in Peace dear friend.
Ardyce made a difference with her life. I was privileged to know her. She will be missed by all who knew her. Rest In Peace, Ardyce!
I am at a loss for words! Ardyce was a piller of the New Rockford community. The best Easter I had in my life is the one where Ardyce and I spent Easter at our pastors home. That day we laughed and shared so much. It was that day when it really clicked how remarkably intelligent and talented Ardyce was. I will miss waving to you Ardyce in your baby blue SUV while out driving. Rest high with the angels dear friend!
Ardyce did so much for our community. She will be greatly missed by many. RIP dear lady.
