Obituary of Nuria Kudlach, 51

Nuria Kudlach, 51, died on August 30, 2015 in State College.

Born March 11, 1964, she was the daughter of Kenneth and Meftuha Adyar Hawkins. She grew up in Spain and Portugal until her father retired, from the United States Army, in Carlisle when she was of school age.

Nuria is survived by her husband, Alois A Kudlach, and a son, Alexander Paul Kudlach, of State College. She was preceded in death by her parents.

She was a 1982 graduate of Carlisle High School. She received her Bachelor’s Degree in Criminal Justice from Penn State in 1987.

Her first career after college was with Children and Youth Services in McSherrystown. She married in 1989 and moved to California for a short time before they moved to the Washington DC area where she became a full time mother and did volunteer work. The family lived in Johnstown while Alex attended school. In 2013 Nuria relocated with her family to her beloved State College. She recently started a new career as a Realtor with Home Edge Realty Group, LLC, State College.

Nuria had a smile that would light up the room and an infectious laugh she shared with everyone she met. She went all-in on everything she did, from planning events, remodeling her home, to cooking and crafting. She was an avid Penn State fan and always showed her Penn State pride wherever she went. Nuria was full of life and was always planning gatherings for family and friends; her door was always open for visitors. She would do anything to help a friend and would always fight for what was right.

A private memorial service will be held for family and close friends at 12 noon, on Sunday, September 20, 2015 at Koch Funeral Home, 2401 S. Atherton St., State College.
