Obituary for Kate Hudson
HUDSON, Kate (1936 – 2022) -
Kate died on March 16, 2022 at the age of 85 at the Lakeridge Health Oshawa Hospital. Born in England, she was married to the late Jim Hudson and they were together for 55 amazing years. They immigrated in 1957 with just two suitcases to start a life in Canada and raised six children. They lived in Cowansville, Cornwall, Scarborough, Pickering, Ajax, Whitby and South Africa where they were missionaries.
She was a caring mother to Carolyn and Phil Kondorosi, John and Tracy Hudson, Mark and Colleen Hudson, Ian Hudson and Sheila Corriveau, Katherine Sam and Mike Desjardins and Anna (Sam) Hudson. Kate was a proud grandma to: Adam, Mallorie, Jake, Marc, Shayne, Jenna, Mathew, Ben and Alexandra, and a recent first-time great grandmother to June Rose.
She will be forever loved by her siblings and their spouses: the late John and Rina Harwood, late Anne and late Jack Hygate, Tony and Barbara Harwood, Sally and Geoff Baker, Angela Harwood and Ronnie Harwood. Auntie Kate was also loved by her many nieces and nephews across the globe.
Kate treasured her faith, family and friends. She worked for the Durham Catholic District School Board and was also a Trustee. An active volunteer with the church, RCIA and St. Vincent De Paul Society, she had been living at Amica Whitby and cherished leading ‘Rosary with Kate’ for the residents in the retirement home library.
Friends will be received at the W.C. Town Funeral Chapel in Whitby at 110 Dundas Street East on Sunday, March 20 from 7pm to 9pm. A funeral will be celebrated at the Holy Family Catholic Church at 91 Ribblesdale Drive on Monday, March 21 at 11am. Light refreshments will be served at the church hall following the burial at the Resurrection Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the St. Vincent’s Kitchen (https://www.paypal.com/ca/fundraiser/charity/3435753) or Adventure Place (https://www.lumenus.ca/donate/) where she worked for many years.
