Dear George and Strosser Familia,
Marianne was one of those joyful, ebullient spirits who filled my high school days with unfailing kindness and cheer whenever and where ever we would meet.  We had Latin class together, and I remember seeing her many years later and we talked about our high school days.  We both started reciting the Hail Mary in latin and were so happy we could remember it!  She is a special soul indeed.  
This is prayed her memory:
Ave Maria, Gratia plena, Dominus tecum. Benedicta tu in mulieribus, et benedictus, fructus ventri tui, Jesus.  Sancta Maria, Mater Dei, Ora pro nobis peccatoribus, nunc et in ora mortis nostrae, Amen.  
Blessings to your family

My Dears,
 
When I think of Marianne, “warm and welcoming” are the words which immediately come to me.

I was fortunate to meet Marianne through a mutual friend, Jackie Foust, years ago.  She was such a sweet and kind person and I am thankful to say I knew her.  She will be missed by so many but never forgotten. My heart and prayers go out to the family.

I was blessed to have Marianne as very dear friend, and the loss is tremendous. She was the kind of generous person that the world needs more of, her vibrant presence remains. Truly, an angel that walked amongst us, and that leaves us feeling empty inside. She created a beautiful family with George, and they have much to be proud of in their sons. 
Thank you Marianne for all the warm and beautiful memories, there are no words I have to say how much you will be missed. All my love and prayers!

Are you the George Rudy who knew my husband Glenn, and participated in archery with my husband and Clayton Shenk.  If so you have my deepest sympathy.  I lost track of you, which was unfortunate.  I also knew your parents, and still have a seed which your Father carved into a monkey.  Visited them in Bausman.  I also lost my husband almost 2 years ago.  We also had a blessed marriage of 58 years, and I still miss him.
if you are I would appreciate  lletting me know. I did not know your wife, she sounds like a wonderful soulmate, and we were both lucky in life to have had many years with them.

Dear George Rudy family,  We are so sad to hear of Marianne’s passing. Though we did not get to meet her we loved her. Kara said so much good about her and how great we would get along. I so wish we could have had that wedding last October. We did get to talk to her a couple times through video and tell her how much we love James. May you find peace and comfort from the spirit of God. We are keeping you in our prayers.
Love, Kevin and Karen Kartchner

George, James, David and Joe- I was shocked and saddened to learn of Marianne’s passing. Thoughts and prayers to all of you. I met Marianne at a 24 Game event at OMPH about 20 years ago. Warm, welcoming and always smiling. That was Marianne then and every time I saw her since. Unforgettable smile.                      Melinda Quinn

George, James, David and Joe: Be assured of my prayers for you as you mourn the loss of your dear beloved wife and mother. Marianne was a “living saint” and she blessed my life in many ways as I spent my 11 years at OMPH Parish. I have numerous great memories- Marianne’s chats with me in the sacristy, our visits to Notre Dame, visits and meals to your home and our days at OMPH and Lancaster Catholic. Unfortunately I will not be able to come in for the funeral but I will celebrate Mass for her and for you! May Marianne Rest in Peace in the Hands of Our God and Blessed Mother Mary. My love & prayers, Fr. John, Lima, Ohio.

George, I was so sorry to read Marianne went to meet Jesus so early in life. I’m glad you two had a long marriage. Wish it could have been longer. Keep her memories alive. Tell stories about her. I’ll be praying for you & your family. (You worked with my husband, Bob, at Weis long ago.). 🙂

Marianne was an angel among us. She’s one of the few people I’ve ever seen be a true, living example of Christ’s teaching. Thank you for being such a wonderful friend to my mother and a loving, kind presence in my life. Keeping Marianne’s family and her friends in my heart as they grieve such an immense loss.
