Valerie Jean Rudnicki, 82, passed away on December 6th, 2024. She was born on July 8th, 1942, and was preceded in death by her father Sprague, mother Arlene,
stepmother Grace, brother Bill, sister Karen, and many other friends and relatives.
Valerie is survived by her devoted husband of 64 years, Richard, who she has entrusted to continue guiding their five children: Laura (Joerg Schaude) Rudnicki, Ric Rudnicki, Leigh (James) Sheets, Robert Rudnicki, and Lynde (Joseph) Mujwit. She also leaves behind her cherished grandchildren: Haley (Brian) Sirnic, Rory (Hannah) Sheets,Jenna Sheets, Chloe Mujwit, Leon Schaude, Mitchell Mujwit, Alexandra Rudnicki, and Richard Rudnicki III. Valerie sends her love and smile to her surviving brother Dennis (Jackie) Hollister and half-brother Harry Eakles.
She was a voracious reader, avid gardener, and creative cook and baker. She embraced
being a mother to her very active and individualistic sons and daughters. Her
commitment to being a grounded, loving wife was a welcomed force of nature that kept her family steadfast and happy. Val had many friends, but none closer than her
husband, Richard. In their later years, they were inseparable.
If you knew her, you know that she wants you to be smiling and laughing right now, as
she understood that these are the moments that create a life worth living. Honor her
memory by sharing a smile and laugh with someone today.
In accordance with with Valerie’s wishes, she will be cremated, and there will be no viewing. Arrangements are entrusted to the William Murphy Funeral Home, Inc., 349 Adams Street, Rochester.
