Kathryn Elizabeth Hudgens Arnold

She was a beloved mother, grandmother, sister, daughter, and friend whose life was marked by love, kindness, and dedication to her family. She touched the lives of those around her and will be remembered for the memories she created, the love she shared, and the lasting impact she made on the people who knew her.

Above all, she cherished her God, family, and time spent with those closest to her. Her love, guidance, and presence will be deeply missed, but the memories she leaves behind will forever remain in the hearts of her loved ones.

She is survived by her three sons Anthony Arnold, Marion Arnold, Gregory Arnold, her grandchildren Kadence Arnold, Taylor Arnold, Wyatt Arnold, and her sister Martha McMahan (Bill McMahan) of Cullowhee, NC. She was preceded in death by her parents Rev. Marion and Mrs. Ressie Hudgens.

Though she is no longer with us, her love and memory will live on through the family and friends she leaves behind. She will be deeply missed and forever loved.

A graveside service will be held on Friday, October 23, 2026 at 10:00 AM at Hillcrest Memorial Park, 2410 Gentry Memorial Hwy. Pickens, South Carolina.
