Patricia “Pat” Jean Hudgens, of Rochester Hills, Michigan, passed away on November 24th, 2020 at the age of 74. She was born in Detroit, Michigan on August 13, 1946 to parents Sam & Alice Anderson. Pat was a graduate of Utica High School where she met her beloved husband, Jim Hudgens. They were married on August 22nd, 1964 and together for 34 years until his passing on July 4th, 1998. Pat worked at St. John Hospital on Moross in the Medical Records department until she retired in 2012. She loved her family and enjoyed spending time with them whenever she could, including traveling with her sister Alice to Singer Island in Florida. However, Pat was most content when she was home or sitting down with a good book her best friend Bunnie Knobloch recommended to her. Pat was fiercely smart and loved history so she was always the person you wanted on your team when playing Trivial Pursuit. Pat was funny and made her family laugh all of the time with her quirky jokes. She loved to visit Lexington MI where her family stayed every summer at their cottage until her husband’s passing. Even after selling the cottage she visited Lexington every summer with family. However, Pat is most known for her appreciation of delicious food such as her mother’s spaghetti, shrimp, Big Boy Slim Jims, and barbequed Chicken Shack.
Pat is survived her son Todd (Jennifer) Hudgens; daughter Tracy (Dan) Brittain; grandchildren Tanner Hudgens, Caitlynne Hudgens, Keegan Hudgens, and Tess Hudgens; nieces Heidi Anderson, Lauren Anderson, and Gretchen Anderson; siblings DeeDee (Jerry) Robichaud, Paul Anderson, Bonnie (Don) DiCarlo, and Alice (Nate) Anderson; and her cat Maggie.
A future Celebration of Life service will be held in 2021 by her family. As she wished, her ashes will be spread in the ocean in Singer Island, Florida in the same place as her husbands were.
