Herbert Sherman Hudson

He was born July 14, 1945 in Forsyth County to the late Preston Odway Hudson and Nellie Elizabeth Beasley Hudson. He was preceded in death by his parents; son, Timothy Allen Hudson; two brothers, Milton and Ervin Hudson; three sister, Geraldine Lawson, Joann Tucker, and Virginia Gant; and a niece, Tracy Easter. Herbert leaves behind his wife of 57 years, Judy Beauchamp Hudson; daughter, Theresa Hudson; grandson, Devon Hudson (Brittany); granddaughter, Deja Hudson; four great grandchildren, Allen, Annie, Sophia, and Brooks; brother, David Hudson, Sr.; and three sisters, Lillie Anderson (Roger), Wilma Stilley, and Cathy Smith.

Herbert was a loving husband, father, grandfather, and great-grandfather. When young, he had dreamed of parachuting and being a cowboy-he was able to do both. As a Green Beret for 9 years, he parachuted nearly 100 times. He had horses and actually participated in a cattle round up and did a lot of trail riding. He was devotedly active in several organizations. But above all, he loved being with his family the most.

A celebration of Herbert's life will take place at Sharon United Methodist Church on Saturday, January 20th at 1pm. The family will receive friends for a visitation following the service.
