A New Chapter in Ohio

In 1985, Rodney John Stadum married Christine Stadum, beginning a second chapter of family life that continued in the Ohio communities he had called home since the mid-1970s.

By 1985, Rodney was more than a decade into his career at Eastman Kodak Company and well-established in Ohio. His three children — Amy, Kristin, and Scott — were teenagers or young adults, and Rodney was entering a new personal chapter alongside Christine.

Christine is documented in Signe Marie Stadum's 2003 obituary as Rodney's wife and daughter-in-law, residing in Dayton, Ohio. The couple maintained connections with the broader Stadum family throughout the years that followed.

Further details of their wedding and early married life are pending contribution from family members. This story page serves as a placeholder for those records and memories as the archive continues to grow.
