Lynn Hughes Tudor, 69 of Raleigh, NC passed away on Saturday, August 22, 2020 in her home. She courageously fought two different types of cancer for the last 23 years. She was born on October 31, 1950 in Cumberland, MD to the late Benjamin and Rebecca Hughes.
Lynn graduated from Beall High School in Frostburg, MD in 1968 and then graduated from Hood College and Frostburg State University with degrees in Chemistry and Physics. Lynn always had a great love for all animals and subsequently spent most of her life working with them. Lynn worked in small animal hospitals, in veterinary pharmaceutical sales as well as at the NCSU Veterinary Teaching Hospital.
She is survived by her sister, Nancy L. Hughes of Frostburg, MD; her daughter, Rebecca Tudor Wheless and husband, Jeff Wheless, and their children Benjamin and Arden of Louisburg, NC; and her daughter, Jennifer Tudor Hakeman of Raeford, NC and her children Hadley and Michael.
Her family is very grateful all the doctors and staff at Duke Medical Center especially Dr. Joseph Moore and Dr. Thomas D’Amico without whose care she would not have had the years she had after her cancer diagnosis in 1997. We are also thankful for all her friends who helped her in her later years.
A memorial service is planned for Lynn at St. John’s Episcopal Church in Frostburg, Maryland at 1:00pm on September 26, 2020.
