Obituary of Stephanie Lynn Sundberg

Stephanie Lynn Sundberg was born in Toledo, Ohio on September 28, 1985.   She was born from the union of Raymond A. Blossom and Christine A. Sundberg.  As a young girl, Stephanie exhibited an uncanny gift for dance.   She could watch dancing on television and then instantly mimic the moves she observed.   She grew up in Dundee and attended Dundee High School through her junior year.   She then transferred to the Performing Arts School of Metropolitan Toledo graduating with the Class of 2005.  

Stephanie was one of a kind.   She was a free spirit; very vocal, and always the life of the party.   With her witty super random off the wall one-liners, Stephanie was always the center of attention, and she didn’t care what others thought.  

She was blessed with the birth of three children.   She married their father Joseph Rudnicki in 2010.   Stephanie was the partner in crime to her younger sister, Aimee.   They looked forward to getting their children together every other Sunday for McDonald’s play dates.   Anyone who knew Stephanie could count on her for random, daily off the wall texts.  

A rebel without a cause, Stephanie set out to live each day to the fullest on her own terms and no one else’s.   She was well known for her one-liners, “You Mind Your Business” and “Let Me Live My Life”.   She was the queen of selfies and snapchat filters.   She loved the holidays and Black Friday shopping.

Stephanie, age 33, of Dundee and her boyfriend:  Steven P. Luke of Toledo passed away on Sunday, November 11, 2018 from injuries sustained in an auto accident on US-23.   Her passing was preceded by son:  Hunter Rabe, and three grandfathers: John Jorden, Robert L. Blossom, and Lawrence E. Sundberg.

To cherish her memory she leaves three children:  Aubreigh Rudnicki, Kaden Rudnicki, and Brooklynn Rabe; her parents:  Christine and John Taylor and Raymond A. Blossom; maternal grandmothers:  Carol Jorden and Janis Sundberg; paternal grandmothers:  Catherine Blossom and Barbara Taylor; four siblings:  Aimee (Robert) Ray, John Taylor III (Clarisse Hughes), Michael L. Taylor, and Rylie Blossom; four nephews:  Carter, Mason, Brady, and Griffin; former spouse:  Joseph Rudnicki
