“She never let a nickel get past her,” Mayor Grayson
Vandegrift said in a Facebook post Thursday. “She was a great custodian of the
city’s money, a helpful servant to the people, and she was a comforting friend.
Whenever I made a mistake that I thought would be problematic, she was there to
tell me, ’Awww, it’ll be all right,’ and then she always helped me fix it.”
Hudson was born and raised in Woodford County and graduated
from Woodford County High School in 1983. When she retired last May 31,
Vandegrift said, “She leaves the city in the best financial shape it’s ever
been in.”
Her survivors include her husband, Donnie Ray Hudson; a
daughter, Sarah Wilson; two brothers, Stevie (Amber) Wilson and Lonnie Wilson;
a brother-in-law, Ronnie Hudson; sisters-in-law Margaret Dunn, Lisa Thompson
and Janice Hagan; and nieces Jenny Gill and Cindy Craig.
Private services will be held in the Midway Cemetery with
Blackburn & Ward Funeral Home in charge. Pallbearers will be Vandegrift,
Ronnie Hudson, Derek Hudson, Stevie Wilson, Andrew Wilson and Jimmie Pantina.
Honorary pallbearers will include Cindy Craig, Peggy Irwin, Debbie Hudson,
Jenny Gill, and Amber Wilson.
Family and friends are encouraged to share memories and
leave messages of condolence on her online tribute wall.
