Dear
Friends and Schoolmates,
The sad news continues to arrive.
Mary Akers Hudson, Class of @ 1938, mother of the late
Doc
Hudson
(Warwick HS - Class of 1960) and mother-in-law of
Cathy Slusser Hudson
('64) of VA, passed away on Saturday,
February 19, 2011 in
Newport News at the age of 90.
From Catherine Slusser Hudson ('64) of VA - 02/20/11, 10:43 PM, 02/21/11 and
03/01/11, 7:19 PM - "Passing of
Mary L. Hudson":
Hi Carol : I have some sad
news.
It is with a heavy heart that I
advise all my family and friends of the death of Mary L. Hudson.
On 2-19-2011, she passed
from this life to be with her beloved husband, David W. Hudson,
and son She leaves behind to cherish
her memory a son, Mark Hudson and his wife Debbie, and
granddaughter April. She also leaves her other 5
grandchildren and their families: granddaughter Monica
Stefanowicz and her husband Mike; great-grandsons Kyle
and David; grandson Scott Hudson; grandson Todd
Hudson and his wife Dradi; and great-granddaughter
Lauren Marie and great-grandson Andrew; granddaughter
Amy Rieger and her husband Lance; great-grandsons Alex
and Hunter; and great-granddaughter Hailey; and
grandson Shawn Rosenbaum and his wife Amanda; and
great-granddaughter Athena.
It was my pleasure to have
loved and been her daughter-in-law for 46 years; may she now Rest In
Peace. She will always be remembered and loved by us all and her
memories will last us a lifetime.
Mary was a graduate of
NNHS and so was her husband, David W.
Hudson. Mary was 90 years old at the time of her death. She
graduated from Riverside School of Nursing at the original Riverside
Hospital down next to the Shipyard. She also worked for Dr. A.B.H.
Mirmelstein and Dr. Irving Berlin and she worked at
Tidewater Regional Police Academy when it was in Hampton. After
retirement she attended and graduated from the Newport News Senior
Citizen Police Academy.
I omitted Mary Hudson's maiden name. She was born in PA and was adopted. Her legal name was Mary Louise Akers. Her adopted mother remarried Robert E. Jones but I think Mary still went by Akers. I believe she graduated Class of 1938 but not really sure. I was really tired when I sent you the Death Notice. I hope this is the last time I will be sending you a Death Notice for my family for a while. As you know I lost my husband in April and my dad in October and my mother-in-law on Saturday.
When I met my husband, Mary was a member of Aldersgate
Methodist Church in Hampton, Virginia. Catherine Hudson Oh,
Cathy, I'm so very sorry to hear this! This year has been an
unbelievably brutal one for you; you and your family have my deepest
sympathies in your time of loss.

It has been years since I have seen or heard from you. I worked with you at Ft. Eustis Finance and wondered how you and Debbie were doing all of these years. I send you and your family my heartfelt condolences at the loss of your mother. May you find comfort in the fond memories of Mrs. Mary. Be encouraged and blessed.
Catherine, please accept my deepest condolences on the passing of
your mother-in-law.

My
Faith Looks Up to Thee
Words by Ray
Palmer, 1830
Music by
Lowell Mason (08
Jan 1792 - 11 Aug 1872), 1832
My faith looks up to Thee,
Thou Lamb of Calvary,
Savior divine!
Now hear me while I pray,
Take all my guilt away,
O let me from this day
Be wholly Thine!
May Thy rich grace impart
Strength to my fainting heart,
My zeal inspire!
As Thou hast died for me,
O may my love to Thee,
Pure warm, and changeless be,
A living fire!
While life's dark maze I tread,
And griefs around me spread,
Be Thou my Guide;
Bid darkness turn to day,
Wipe sorrow's tears away,
Nor let me ever stray
From Thee aside.
When ends life's transient dream,
When death's cold sullen stream
Over me roll;
Blest Savior, then in love,
Fear and distrust remove;
O bear me safe above,
A ransomed soul!
