Grace Christine Rudolph passed away peacefully on July 19, 2024 to be with her precious Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

She was born on June 23, 1936 to John and Dorothy Henley and was raised on a large wheat and cattle ranch owned by her father in Hay, WA. She met Marvin Rudolph in high school and they were married. Approximately one year later Grace started her career as a bank teller in Colfax, WA and two years later they started their family with a son, Marvin Bradley Rudolph. They moved to Pasco, WA about two years later when Marvin started a job at Cargill grain elevator in Burbank, WA. Their family was then completed with the birth of another son, Jeff Rudolph (Ross), and a daughter, Donna Rudolph (Hendricksen). Grace raised her family at home for 14 years before going back to work at Old National Bank in Pasco. In 1976, Grace and Marvin moved to Lynnwood, WA when Marvin received a promotion with Cargill. Grace stayed with banking and later became an administrator at an assisted care facility. When Marvin retired in 1997 they moved back to Tri-Cities and remained there the rest of their lives.

Grace and Marvin were very involved in many church ministries as volunteers and loved serving the Lord. They also enjoyed RVing with friends and family to many places. She loved her Southern Gospel music and even traveled along the West Coast to Gaither Southern Gospel concerts in their RV. Grace also loved to cook, bake and crochet. She had many sweet little dogs that filled her and Marvin with so much joy. She also loved being a grandmother/great-grandmother and always introduced herself, “I’m grandma!” Grace and Marvin took in many other people and children as their own, unofficially adopting them as their children and grandchildren. Grace always had so much love to give.

Grace was preceded in death by her parents, John and Dorothy Henley, her siblings, Frank, John, Don, and Berda – her husband, Marvin, and her son Jeff Ross, and daughter, Donna.

Grace is survived by her eldest son, Brad, her grandchildren, Mandi, Jamie, Justin, Ashley, Sarah, Sheri, Sharla, as well as her great-grandchildren, Clifton, Aurelia, Jared, Jayda, Braden, Jordan, Jason, Ashton, Christian, and Amara; as well as her son-in-law, Bobby, and daughters-in-law, Yvette and Susan.
