Ardis Bertha Mahon was born June 17, 1933, the daughter of Emil and Myrtle (Narvestad) Magnuson, in Montevideo, Minnesota. She was baptized and confirmed at the Granite Falls Lutheran Church. She graduated from the Granite Falls High School in 1952
Following graduation, she worked at the Red Owl Grocery Store. On June 16, 1956, she was united in marriage to Ivan Mahon at St. Andrew Catholic Church in Granite Falls.
They lived in Slayton where she worked at the Super Valu Store. In 1966, they returned to Granite Falls, where she worked as a cook in the elementary school cafeteria. She retired in 1995.
She enjoyed camping, word find puzzles, playing cards, reading and embroidering.

She was also an avid Minnesota Twins fan, always keeping track of the scores for each game.
Ardis and Ivan were also able to take two Jay Buckley Baseball Tours which she really enjoyed. Visiting the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown on one of those trips was a highlight of hers.
