Early life and education

Born in Miami, Florida, and raised in Palm Beach, Rudick's father was Clarke Ash (1923 - 2011), the editor for The Miami News. Under his direction, the paper won three Pulitzer Prizes. Ash was also editor of the editorial page for the Palm Beach Post. He received an award for leadership and support from President Lyndon Johnson for his support of the passage of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 that prohibits racial discrimination in voting. Florida Governor, Claude Kirk cited Ash for his campaign to protect the Everglades and for the creation of the Biscayne National Monument.

Her mother, Agnes Ash, was the publisher of the Palm Beach Daily News. She won 12 newspaper awards, including the New York Women's award as editor of The New York Times. She was also a reporter for The Atlanta Journal-Constitution and was the first business editor for The Washington Post.
