Mardell liked to entertain her cousins from Illinois and Canada. She enjoyed listening to Don's favorite song "Never Ending Love for You". She also enjoyed listening to the music of Johnny Cash and polka music. She would never admit it, but she enjoyed listening to her daughter's alternative music. She liked working on the lawn and going to Eastern Market on flower day. She enjoyed the sweet treat of cinnamon rolls from "Zingermans". She just got over her shyness of animals and loved a little kitten named "Cutie". She like training on the elliptical with hopes of taking a one mile walk. She had a firm Christian faith of reading the Bible and praying and meditating every day. She also enjoyed making deviled eggs and church window treats. She was a member of the Moose Lodge.

She is survived by daughter Kathy Volz, of Sebewaing; and many nieces and nephews.

She is preceded in death by her parents, husband, and brother, Walton Josh Brown and sister-in-law, Marion Brown.
