OBITUARY
Mary Agnes Rudolph
October 31, 1926 – January 22, 2021
There was only one word to define Mary-laughter.
She made people laugh from her childhood friends to her Hospice nurses. Whenever the nurses asked if they could get her anything, her response was “a cocktail would be nice”.
Mary was born in Brooklyn, NY to William and Agatha Hammond, who have predeceased her. She married the love of her life, Harold Rudolph, June 17, 1950 and was happily married until his passing in 2003. Mary and Harold resided in Waldwick, NJ from 1952 until 1990, when they moved to Emerald Isle, NC.
Mary is survived by her son Mark Rudolph, her daughter-in-law Kathleen Rudolph, grandchildren Kaitlin Rudolph and Michael Rudolph.
She was very active in St. Mildred’s Catholic Church in Swansboro.
In 2017 she moved into Jordan Oaks Independent Living to be close to family and, when not playing Rummikub, she could be found in the Bingo room.
In 2020 she moved into Woodland Terrance Memory Care and with all new nurses, she could tell her old jokes!

Mary Rudolph was a sweetheart. Soft-spoken, but certainly not shy with an opinion; a peaceful smile, but with a large sense of humor (to say the least.)
Perpetually quick to offer encouragement and prayers, she always made one feel loved. She was truly one of a kind.
Thank you, Mary, for all your thoughtfulness and laughter. You were a gift.

To the Rudolph family we send our condolences, Last summer we purchased the home next door to them in Lands End. We never had the good fortune of meeting Mary but heard so many wonderful stories about her and her husband when they lived in Emerald Isle.
As Mary would say, "It is five o'clock somewhere!". May she rest in peace. Beth Stein and Margaret Thompson
