She grew up on a farm/ranch in the Huntley community where she raised crops and bred, raised and sold cattle, pigs and chickens. She attended and graduated from Huntley Schools in 1958 except for 2 years. During 2nd & 3rd grades she was part of a one room classroom at Katzer Elementary School (grades 1 through 8) taught by Mary Wells, who married Doyle Cox. During Ardith’s high school years Mary & Doyle were neighbors to her family in the Table Mountain community, where Doyle dubbed Ardith “the Indian princess” because she rode her palomino mare bareback or with a blanket during hot weather. After high school Ardith obtained an Administrative Business degree in Denver, CO.

Ardith married Donald Pfaff in 1959 and resided in the Lingle, WY community, then moved to Torrington, Scottsbluff, NE Torrington, and Phoenix, AZ, back to Torrington, Glenrock, and finally Casper.

She taught Sunday school, beginning at age twelve, to volunteer work in the public school system, Christian Women’s Club, Bible studies, Carenet, GriefShare, Stephen Ministry, and personal one-on-one mentoring since being trained in Torrington in 1978-79.
