Our amazing friend and SaraBella team member, Jenn Rudolph, passed away peacefully on March 18, 2021. Her hand was in her beloved and devoted husband’s hand, and she was surrounded with love. Her children, Braedon and Georgia, were the true source of her unbroken will to fight to her last breath. She was 49 years old.
Joy, vigor, grace, courage, generosity, and integrity. These words barely begin to describe the character and beauty of Jenn Rudolph. She lived boldly and she taught the world about perseverance, humility, and resilience, and the power of kindness.
Jenn came into our life when we launched SaraBella Fishing in 2014. She had a wonderful fly fishing experience with her husband on their honeymoon in New Zealand (thanks, Josh!), and she felt compelled to lend her talent to our company. What began as a professional PR venture led to neighborhood friendship with our families and many good times to follow. She pitched us to magazines and news outlets, she introduced us to influential people in our path, she celebrated our success with humility, and she loved to dream big. Jenn became a true friend to me, a loyal member of our SaraBella team, and a lifelong inspiration to so many.
In her words, “Being a natural optimist my outlook is generally positive and I tend to follow the golden rule of treating others how I would like to be treated. Kindness wins.” When asked about her favorite fly, she responded, “Woolly Bugger, it’s fun to say”.
