She was born on October 21, 1944, to Irving and Matilda (Gallant) Layton. Judy married her best friend and soul mate, David Earl Hudson in Bath, Maine in 1963. She worked at Grand City for three years until their closing, but she continued to go out to lunch with her fellow colleagues quite often. Of all the jobs her favorite was being Nana. She loved her grandchildren very much and took great pride in them.
Judy was a very talented woman who enjoyed making crafts, cooking and being a seamstress. She adored birthday parties with her sisters, playing cards and bingo with friends and family. She always found the good in people, was quick witted, and she had a smile that could light up a room. She could always make someone laugh despite the circumstance with her uplifting sense of humor.
She is survived by her best friend and husband of 48 years David Earl Hudson; son, Tim Hudson and his wife Cindy of Windsor and their children, David and his fiancée Jem, Kaci and her fiancé John, Jacob and Jared; son, Todd Hudson and his wife Insook of Bremen and their daughters, Jennifer and Jessica; son, Troy Hudson of Whitefield. She is also survived by her siblings; sister Mary Bowen from Brighton, Massachusetts; sister, Betty Baker and her husband Bruce of Newcastle; sister Peggy Hartley and her husband Gary of Bath; her brother John Layton of Wiscasset; sister Leah Lawrence and her husband Norman of Topsham; sister, Ellen Brewer and her husband Bob of Bath; her Aunt Leah Coleman of Bath; several nieces and nephews.
She was predeceased by sister, Theresa Fitzgerald as well as parents Irving and Matilda Layton.
