Ardys was born on May 19, 1934, in Kandiyohi County, Minnesota, the daughter of Arthur and Cora (Wiegmann) McLane. She attended elementary school in Raymond where she grew up.
On March 3, 1951, Ardys was united in marriage to Dwayne "Bud" Blokzyl in Raymond. Following their marriage they lived in Willmar where she worked as a waitress, at Willmar Poultry Company and the Christian Nursing Home, before retiring in 1988. Bud preceded her in death on February 24, 1987.
