Obituary of Ardeth A. McCann

Ardeth Ann Tingler-McCann

April 30, 1956 - November 12, 2021

Ardeth McCann, 65, died November 12, 2021 in Mount Tabor, New Jersey.  She was born April 30, 1956 in Enid, Oklahoma to William “Bill” and Shirley (Street) Tingler.

Known by many as a generous and caring nurse, to her children and grandchildren -- who were the center of her universe -- she was a superb mother and “Grandma Ardie.” She was a steadfast and loving daughter and sister, and a loving aunt to many.  Ardeth was an avid reader of detective and thriller novels.  She will be remembered for her enjoyment of and love for all the “little people” in her world and was always grateful to their parents for allowing her to love and care for them.

She is survived by her children Mickey and Molly, her daughter-in-law Ettie McCann, her son-in-law Luke Naccarato, grandchildren Virgil, Magnolia, and Tilly McCann; Nathan, Neil, and Amelia Naccarato; sisters Allison (Tim) Mahovlich and Shelley (William Schukar) Tingler, twin sister April Parsons, brother Chuck Tingler; and many nieces and nephews.

She was preceded in death by her parents.
