Ardis Robson, 83, passed away on Sunday, July 8, in Fuquay-Varina, NC. She was born to Wilbert and Nina Wirgau on Feb 3, 1935 in Rogers City, MI, the oldest of 4 children (Keith, Nancy, and Brian), and graduated from Rogers City High School in 1953. Ardis moved soon after to Bay City where she met David Robson at a dance at the YMCA. They married in Sept of 1956. She worked at Monitor Sugar for a time and then had a long career at Bay Osteopathic (later Bay Med) in the Accounts Receivable Dept. She was a member of the Auburn United Methodist Church and was active in several groups there.
While raising their children, they took many family vacations including Disneyland in CA, Canada, and Florida. After retirement, she enjoyed going to antique sales, estate sales, and church bazaars. Playing cards and dice games were another favorite pastime.
Ardis was predeceased by her husband in March of 2017 after 60 years of marriage. Also predeceasing her were her parents and a brother, Keith. She leaves behind 3 children, Debra (Frank) Milkowski, Susan Robson, and Thomas (Kelly) Robson, 4 grandchildren, Jordan Milkowski, Shaylyn (Drew) Ferrell, Rachel Robson, and Reid Robson.

For the past 7 months, Ardis lived with her daughter in NC and loved getting to know her great grandchildren better. They were a joy to her and she talked about them all the time. One of her favorite things to do while living in NC was to spend time on the porch making phone calls to her friends.
