Price Jett Obituary
Price L. "Rudy" Jett, Sr. of the White Oak area in Stafford County passed away peacefully at his home on November 21, 2020 at the age of 93.
Rudy was preceded in death by the love of his life and wife of 65 years, Bernice Lee Merryman Jett; his son Mark Lane Jett; his parents; and his sisters and brothers.
Rudy is survived by his son, Price L. Jett Jr. (Deidre); daughters Christa Dale Bryant (Ralph), and Pamela Sue "Susie" Stevens (Bob), and Tricia Diane Wright; and grandchildren Rachel Jett, Price "PJ" Jett III, Peter Jett, Gina McDaniels (Dennis), Hunter Stevens (Emma), Katie Grooms (Mike), Candice Brant, and Michelle Lynn Jordan-Soncrant (Joe). Rudy is also survived by six great-grandchildren and numerous nieces and nephews, including Bernice Newton (Minor) and Lisa Newton (Donnie). He is also survived by his little beagle "Big Dog"; his cat "Tootsie"; five chickens; and three guinea hens.
Rudy was born on September 2, 1927 at his family homeplace in Stafford County to Lake and May Bradshaw Jett. He farmed that land and his current farm until he was 93. To support his farming habit, he worked at Mary Washington College (now the University of Mary Washington) for 35 years as a supervisor and manager of the heating plant. He received multiple awards for his management of that operation.
For 42 years, Rudy was an active member of Mountain View Baptist Church. He and good friend Pratt Sullivan welcomed and passed out candy to the children (and adults) every Sunday. He served as a deacon since 1978. During the 1970's and 1980's, he and his wife served in the bus ministry, picking up children and carrying them to and from the church.
His true passion was people. He loved to make people laugh through his jokes and stories. He had numerous friends from all ages and backgrounds. He was greatly loved in life and will be greatly missed in death.
Rudy was a friend to everyone and never met a stray, animal or human, he would not help.

He always looked at the obituaries in the paper every day. When asked "why?" His reply was. "Just want to make sure he wasn't in it." No one but my stepdad could have come up with that answer! RIP Rudy. I loved you.

Billy, Deidre and children, Rudy's daughters and Families~
Oh, how we will all miss this ebullient, kind, personable and Christian gentleman! Rudy was the "sunshine" of White Oak's "day" and spread his sunshine at the Giant Grocery whenever he "took his seat" there. Thank you for that excellent obituary which reflected Rudy's personality and LIFE so well, capturing the essence of this wonderful man who never met a stranger. Oh, how he will be missed physically but he lives on in our hearts and memories daily. His nature will be an icon that will be reflected through you, Billy, and your children as well as Rudy's daughters, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. You are inn my prayers as you grow accustomed to his Earthly absence but you know he is rejoicing with Bernice and Mark at the near hand of God. His long but exemplary life will fill you with happiness as the immediate sorrow diminishes. May God bless and keep you all,, close together, supported in the warmth of your family in the days ahead, mindful of Rudy's and Bernice's nurturing always and
your upbringing in Christian love and values.
