While going to school at SUU in Cedar City, she met and married Cloyd R. Sudweeks. They had 4 children and were later divorced.

She loved the LDS Church and it's gospel. She served a full-time mission in Northern California. RueDell thoroughly enjoyed the callings the Church gave her during her life.

She also loved to learn and always looked to further her education. She earned an Associates degree from SUU and later earned a Masters degree in Social Work from the University of Utah.

Travel became a big passion for her during her later years. She enjoyed trips to China, Argentina, the Amazon in South America, and several trips to different locations in Europe.

She was kind and sweet, but also tough and very persistent.
