Rudolph was born in Potchefstroom, South Africa. She studied at the Pretoriase Normaalkollege from 1942 to 1944. In 1945, she married the playwright Coenraad Frederik Rudolph (who published under the name Coenie Rudolph). They had three daughters and one son. [2] [3]

Rudolph sang professionally in Pretoria with the Cantare singing group. Later, she and her family sang together and produced LP recordings, often of Rudolph’s compositions. After writing stories for children and adults, Rudolph began writing plays and eventually works for musical theatre, often collaborating with her husband. During the 1960s, the  Dramatic, Artistic and Literary Rights Organisation (DALRO) encouraged her to write more theatrical works for children and amateur groups, and published several of them. [2] In 1965, she won a special drama prize from the National Council for Adult Education for her play Bye Om ‘N Aster. [1]

Rudolph’s works were published by DALRO, Melody Music Publishers, N.G. Kerkboekhandel, Perskor, and Voortrekkerpers. [1] [2] [4]
