Ardyce Joyce Fornengo, age 84 of Bone Lake (Milltown, formerly of Amery, WI) passed away on January 8, 2013 at the Golden Age Manor after a very short battle with cancer. She was born on November 7, 1928 in Range, Wisconsin to Jerry and Florence (Pearson) Gamache. Ardyce graduated high school from Balsam Lake in 1947. In 1949 she married Dominic Fornengo and the couple lived in Milltown, Silver Bay, Staten Island, NY and finally settled back in Range, WI on her family's farm. In 1957 they welcomed a son, Tom, into their lives and in 1962 they also welcomed their daughter Cindy. Ardyce worked as a nurse's aide for many years at Golden Age Manor where she also retired from. In 1978 they moved closer to Amery and lived on the Apple River where Donn could fish and she could tend to her flower gardens. They spent many evenings entertaining guest, playing 500, cribbage or board games. In 1982 after Donn retired they decided to do some traveling, bought a motor home and headed south to many different destinations. After a few years of traveling to different locations they decided that they liked Arizona best and bought a "park model" trailer in Apache Junction where they had a lot of friends to spend their winters with. After Donn passed away in 2003 Ardyce was lucky enough to re-kindle an old friendship with Bob Wulf and eventually moved into Bob's house on Bone Lake. This is when she joined the "Red Hats" and enjoyed all the different things that they had to offer. She also loved to play cards, bingo or cribbage whenever she had the chance.
Ardyce is preceded in death by her father Jerry Gamache, her mother Florence (Pearson) Gamache, sister Helen Peterson, sister June Donatelle and husband Dominic Fornengo. Ardyce leaves to celebrate her memory her sister Eunice (Vern) Durne, son Tom Fornengo, daughter Cindy (Tim) Williams, granddaughter Hannah Fornengo, grandson Sam Fornengo, her very, very special friend Bob Wulf as well as many, many loving relatives and friends.
