Victoria Rudolph (Vickie)

Victoria Rudolph (Vickie), 83, of Harrison, Michigan, passed away peacefully on February 16, 2026, surrounded by her loving family.

 Born on September 19, 1942, in Detroit, Michigan, she was the daughter of the late Victor and Eleanor Sadowski.

She was united in marriage to Ronald Rudolph on October 12, 1963, and together they shared 46 years of devoted marriage until his passing in 2009. Vickie was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, and friend. Her life was centered on her family, whom she loved deeply and supported faithfully. She was known for her strength, and unwavering dedication to those she cared for. Her warmth and generosity touched the lives of many.

She found joy in trips to the casino, bingo, reading, jigsaw puzzles, and owning the local bowling alley, Snowbird Lanes. During the time Ron and Vickie owned Snowbird they were blessed to be supported by great staff and the surrounding Harrison community. As a 30-year resident of Harrison, the local people, her bowling patrons, and staff became her family. Vickie always looked forward to their youth leagues. She really enjoyed watching the kids having fun. She provided financial support to various youth programs within the community, which included sponsoring the Harrison High School bowling team. Her family was extremely grateful for the community support she received after the passing of Ron.

 Surviving to cherish her memory are her children, Laurie Rudolph, Nancy (Scott) Kolinski, and Shane Rudolph; her grandchildren, Hallie (Grant) Grabowski, Elena Kolinski, Marissa (Zachariah) Pacheco, and Paige Kolinski; her great-grandchild Layla Mae Grabowski; and many nieces and nephews. Vickie was preceded in death by her loving husband Ronald Rudolph, her brother John Sadowski, and her sister-in-law Karen Sadowski. She will be dearly missed and forever remembered.
