Bio

Rudy Vrana died at his home in Burlington on September 18, 2009, at the age of 90, following a short battle with cancer. Rudy was born September 17, 1919 to Frank and Frances Vrana in Sumner, Nebraska. He was raised in Nebraska until he moved to Washington State in 1935, living on Sinclair Island with family. He resided on Sinclair Island for several years, then moved to Burlington where he worked for Knutzen Farms and then eventually owned his own farm. In August of 1951 he married the love of his life, Sophie Ackerman. Rudy and Sophie had a successful farming career, until his retirement from dairy farming at the age of 55. After retirement, he and Sophie just enjoyed life as it was. They were seldom found at home as they enjoyed social gatherings, be it church dinners, walking at the mall, bowling, camping, or gambling at the casino. They enjoyed being busy and being with friends and family. Rudy was preceded in death by his loving wife Sophie, his parents Frank and Frances Vrana, siblings, John, Adolph, Ed, and Frances. He is survived by daughters and spouses Carol and Loyd Morgan, Cheryl and John Bolden, grandchildren, Karen Wilson and her husband Mike, Jennifer Bolden, Adam Waldron and Carey Bolden. Great grandchildren are Taylor, Matthew and Jalen. He is also survived by a sister Wilma Morgan, and many nieces and nephews. A family Celebration of Life will be held at a later date. Donations may be made to the cancer research of your choice. Published in Skagit Valley Herald Publishing Company on September 29, 2009
