Suzanne was born on April 30, 1947 to M.C “Tuffy” and Susan Johnson in Hattiesburg, MS. She attended Hattiesburg High school and the University of Southern Miss where she entertained crowds as a Dixie Darling. She married her high school sweetheart Ed “Tex” Hudgins in 1967, and they lived in many places across the United States until finally settling in Madison, MS.
Suzanne is survived by her beloved husband Ed Hudgins and their three daughters and their spouses: Kelsey and John Abington, Leslie and Jay Loposer, and Courtney and Scott Ray. She has nine grandchildren: Brooke Abington and her husband, Ocean Carlson, Wesley Abington, Joshua Abington, Andrew Abington, Brock Loposer, Knox Loposer, Price Loposer, Noah Ray and Emery Ray. She was also survived by her siblings Judith Pagliughi, Jeffery Johnson, and Joel Johnson.
There is nothing Suzanne loved more than her Savior Jesus Christ, and we know without a doubt that she is dancing with Jesus right now. Suzanne was an active member of many bible-studies and attended Pine Lake Church in Madison. She loved praising the Lord with the shofar and blowing it at revivals, prayer meetings, and even at the Mississippi State Capitol. Suzanne was known for her joy and infectious laughter, her daring and adventurous spirit, and the ways in which she loved others with compassion. She was a prayer warrior, a worshipper, and loved her family fiercely.
The visitation is scheduled at 12:00 on Saturday, November 21st followed by the funeral service at 2:00 at Parkway Funeral Home in Ridgeland, MS.
