Mary Jeanne Aardema
Jeanne Gorrell Aardema, age 95, of Hendersonville, finished her battle with Alzheimer's Disease on the evening of September 17, 2021. She has now joined "Tom", whom she asked for over and over since he went to Heaven in August of 2017. Peace at last!
Jeanne was born in Greensboro, North Carolina. After High School Graduation she attended Women's College in Greensboro for a short time. She felt the responsibility of "doing her share" at home, so she went to work full time.
One of the major shining points of her life was her career with the US Air Force in Greensboro. She was hired as a typist/clerk and wrote "special orders" for the soldiers coming through Greensboro, waiting to ship out to WWII. She felt very honored to be doing that job and met many friends.
At the time of her civilian Air Force employment, she caught the eye of a one special Air Force Serviceman, Sgt. Thomas F. (Tom) Aardema, Sr. This began their true "Love Story".
Jeanne's life was spent in being Mother to three children. She and her family were very active at Arden Presbyterian Church where she was also the Church Secretary. In later years, she was at Park Ridge Hospital in Patient Registration.
Jeanne leaves behind her three children, Shaw A. Hollingsworth and her husband, Jerry, of Etowah, Thomas F. Aardema Jr. and his wife, Kathy, of Weaverville, and Charles M. Aardema and his wife, Linda, of Murfreesboro, TN.
She is also survived by five grandchildren, Major Joshua A. Wells, USMC (Ret) of Newport News, VA., Sean Aardema of Weaverville, Ben Aardema of Fletcher, Anna A. Nickell of Murfreesboro, TN and Katrina Aardema of Gallatin, TN. Ten great-grandchildren were a great blessing in her life.
There is no planned service at this time. There will be a Graveside Service planned for Friends and Family at a future date.
