Ordell was born to George and Elsie (Brede) Borchert in Round Grove Township, McLeod County on April 11, 1930.  She was baptized as an infant and later confirmed as a youth. On Sept. 14, 1947, she married Vernon Sprengeler and they were blessed with a daughter, Vanna. They shared 21 years of marriage until Vernon passed away in 1969. On March 7, 1970, Ordell married Glenn Bressler and they shared 23 years of marriage until he passed away in 1993.

She cherished the time she spent with her daughter and her family. Ordell had a huge heart for animals especially cats and dogs.
