She worked at Sportique at Bowman's Golf Course in Welches and later at the front desk at The Resort at the Mountain. After retirement in 1989, she worked at the Hallmark shop in Welches. Mardell enjoyed golfing, bowling, spending time with her family and playing cards with groups of friends.
In November 1980, her husband preceded her in death. In September 2009, Mardell's health began to decline and she moved to Cascadia Village Assisted Living.
Survivors include her daughter, Janet Furnish of Sandy; grandson, Jeremy Furnish of Clatskanie; and three great-grandchildren.
