Mrs. Doris Rudolph, a beloved mother and grandmother from Pittsburgh, PA passed away.
She was 96.
Born in Johnstown, PA in 1924, Doris Glosser was one of five children born to Sylvia and David Glosser. The Jewish community was small and her family started Glosser Brothers Department Store, one of the mainstays of the town.
She and her twin sister Naomi were preternaturally joyful, exuding twice the charm wherever they went.
She married Leonard Rudolph in 1948 and Pittsburgh became her home until her passing.
Mrs. Rudolph was involved in many causes, including UJF Women’s Division, ORT, Ladies Hospital Aid Society, but no matter where she was involved, she added her unique blend of elegance and fun.
Dory knew how to tackle serious causes as well; in the 1980’s, she took a trip to Russia with her husband to meet Refuseniks. She and Leonard led countless missions to Israel as well.
More recently, when asked what she wanted for her birthday, Dory replied, “I’d like to donate an ambulance to people in Israel,” which is exactly what she and Leonard did for Magen David Adom.
She was predeceased by her husband in 2003.
She is survived by her children: Reb Zev Rudolph, Mr. Jim Rudolph and Mrs. Wendy Rudolph as well as many grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
The Levaya was held Thursday in Pittsburgh in the Lubavitch Center section at Homewood Cemetery.
