Debbie was born on September 20, 1961. She was preceded in death by her parents, Katherine "Peggy" McKinney and James R. McKinney. She was a loving mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister, and friend whose greatest joy in life was her family. She had a kind heart, a caring spirit, and a strength that inspired everyone who knew her. Her love was unconditional, and she never hesitated to put the needs of those she loved before her own.
Debbie dedicated 38 years of faithful service to Milbank Manufacturing, where she was known for her strong work ethic, loyalty, and commitment. She took great pride in her work and built lasting friendships throughout her career.
Left to cherish her memory is her loving husband, Neil Hudson; and her children: Bryan Humphreys (Candice), Chelsea Smith (Brent), Ryan Hudson (Tabitha), and Brandi Walthall (Jeff). She is also survived by her siblings, Edmond Ridley (Pam), Tena Herring (Jim), and Bonnie McKinney Brush; eight beloved grandchildren; ten cherished great-grandchildren; along with many nieces, nephews, extended family members, and dear friends.
Debbie's legacy is one of love, compassion, resilience, and devotion to her family. Though our hearts are broken by her loss, we find comfort in knowing that her love will continue to live on in the lives she touched. She will be deeply missed, forever loved, and never forgotten.
