Susan A. Rudolph, 78, of Maplewood Drive, Glocester, died peacefully on Wednesday surrounded by her daughters. She was the wife of the late Theodore F. Rudolph, Jr. They had been married for forty-three years.
Born in Flushing, NY, a daughter of the late Thomas D. and Ann F. (Bousson) Drolet. She lived in Glocester for forty-nine years. She was also a nurse for twenty-two years until retiring to take care of her girls’ full time.
Susan was best known for her kindness, welcoming nature, beauty, and devotion to her family. She had a wonderful sense of humor and would always laugh in her lively New York voice. She was the type of mom who created the warm and cozy home you only thought existed in stories. The mom who decorated for every holiday with enthusiasm and joy. Born in New York, Susan was the eldest of nine children. She married the love of her life, could discuss any subject, could talk on the phone for hours, and she always knew the weather. Always. Most importantly, she was her daughters’ biggest cheerleader and always made them feel loved unconditionally.
She leaves her daughters, Christine Luchun and her husband Michael of Glocester, Cynthia Barlow and her husband Scott of Glocester, her siblings, Stephen Drolet (Diane) of Royal Palm Beach, FL, Laura Richardson (William) of New Hyde Park, NY, Kathleen Aloisio (John) of East Williston, NY, Daniel Drolet (Patti) of Dix Hills, NY, Andrew Drolet (Joanne) of Newark, DE, Elizabeth Cerro (Adolfo) of Wilmington, DE and Anne Kontopoulos (Billy) of Manhasset Hills, NY. She was also a loving and adoring grandmother to Kelly Luchun, and Ethan, Colin, and Faith Barlow. She was the sister of the late Thomas Drolet (Denise), sister-in-law of the late Diane Drolet, and grandmother of the late Abigail Luchun.
