Patricia J. Rudisel

Patricia J. Rudisel, 68, of Terre Haute, passed away on Friday, August 29, 2014, at Union Hospital, surrounded by her family. She was born on August 17, 1946, in Terre Haute, to Paul W. Rudisel, Sr. and Betty J. (Morford) Rudisel.

Patty was a hard worker. She started working at a young age at The Goody Shop and later went to work at the Regal 8 Motel. She spent her last working years as an Inspector at Data Label. She was a member of Kings Harvest Foursquare Gospel Church. Patty’s faith was an important part of her life. She read her Bible daily and loved to pray for people and with people. She shared her faith with others in hopes that they could have a relationship with God like she had. Patty devoted her time to helping others; her willingness to give and her loving, caring heart made her who she was. She thought of her nieces, nephews, great-nieces, and great-nephews like they were her own.

Patty is survived by her siblings: Paul Rudisel, Jr. and his wife Dee of Bowden, GA; Vicki Fields and her husband Elmer of Dillsboro, IN; Steve Rudisel, Tom Rudisel, Penny Sheese and her husband James, and Becky Burns and her husband Pat, all of Terre Haute; an uncle, Glen Rudisel and his wife Judy of Terre Haute; sister-in-law Helen Rudisel of Spring, TX; nieces and nephews: Tony, Paul III, Frankie, Susie, Tracy, Brian, TJ, Rachel, Jimmy, Jennifer, Danielle, Eric, and Larry; several great- nieces and nephews, and many friends.

She was preceded in death by her parents, a daughter Joyce Lynn Rudisel, a sister Diana Lee Rudisel, and a brother Jimmy Rudisel.

Patricia’s family wishes to thank the nursing staff in the Oncology Department at Union Hospital, Dr. Joseph Abdayem, and Pastor Dennis Leek for the love and compassionate care she received during her final days.
