Ardella May Whitter

Mrs. Ardella M. Whitter, a resident of Fahrney-Keedy Home & Village, Boonsboro,
passed away on Saturday, June 5, 2021. She was 93 years old. Born in Frederick on
January 28, 1928 she was the daughter of the late William and Ada Mercer. She was
predeceased by her husband Marion Jasper Whitter, Jr.
She was a lifelong member of St. John’s Lutheran Church, Myersville. She spent many
years as a housekeeper for several families but she became far more than an
employee. She was Aunt Dellie to many children and loved and nurtured those families
as she did her own.
Ardella is survived by one step-son, Marion (Bunny) Whitter III (Sue), of Braddock; sons
Thomas Whitter (Susie), of Brunswick; Michael Whitter (Vivian), of New Market;
daughters Candice Fulton, of Smithsburg; Kim Ewing, of Middletown; 10
grandchildren and 11 great grandchildren; one brother William Mercer, Libertytown and
several nieces and nephews. She is also remembered by special friend Mert Smith,
Smithsburg.
She is predeceased by sister Catherine Rippeon and son-in-law Dave Fulton.
The family would like to thank the staff of Fahrney Keedy for their compassion and loving
care while she was a resident.
The family will receive friends from 10 am to 12 pm on Tuesday, June 8, 2021 at the
Keeney & Basford P.A. Funeral Home, 106 East Church Street, Frederick, MD 21701. The
funeral service will immediately follow at noon at the funeral home. Burial will be at
