Virginia Rudloff

Virginia "Ginny" Rudloff, born on October 23, 1929, in Lena, Louisiana, departed this world on July 16, 2025, in Kerrville, Texas, leaving behind a legacy characterized by love, compassion, and service. Her life journey is a testament to her unwavering spirit and commitment to the well-being of others.

A registered nurse by profession, Ginny dedicated herself to the art and science of healing, providing care not only in hospitals but also as an instructor in the LVN program at Lamar University in Beaumont, Texas. Here, she shared her vast knowledge and experiences with the next generation of nurses, instilling in them the same dedication and empathy she embodied throughout her own career.

Ginny's life was deeply intertwined with the community of Beaumont, Texas, where she lived and raised her family. Her nurturing spirit was evident not just in her professional life, but also in her personal life. Always seen with her signature hat, a symbol of her unique style and individuality; even when they weren't in vogue.

In a beautiful chapter of her life, she married the love of her life, Miles Stanley Rudloff, on May 4, 1950, in New Gulf, Texas. Together, they forged a lifetime of love and adventure, ultimately choosing the picturesque Hill Country as their retreat in retirement. Ginny's heart was a reservoir of love, which she poured into her husband, family, church, and countless friends.

Among her accomplishments was a lifetime spent serving those around her, particularly as an esteemed member of the Riverside Church of Christ. Her contributions to her church and community resonated deeply, reflecting her innate desire to help anyone in need. She was a beloved figure known as the "cookie lady," delighting local first responders with her generous gifts of homemade cookies.

Ginny was preceded in death by her parents, Sim and Agnes Beebe; her cherished husband, Miles Stanley Rudloff; her beloved son, Gary Stanley Rudloff; her brothers, William Gayle Beebe and Roy Allen Beebe; and her sister, Beryl Beebe-Rachel.

She is lovingly remembered by her surviving family: her daughter, Deborah Rudloff Zink; her granddaughter, Jennifer Zink Johnston (Tony); her great-granddaughters, Hannah Leigh Johnston and Sarah Nicole Johnston; and numerous nieces and nephews who will continue to carry her spirit of kindness and generosity.
