Obituary
HUDSON, Ann
1934 – 2021
On December 22, 2021, at 2:00 a.m. Ann Hudson (Nee Omilusik) was called home by the Lord. At 87 years of age, she passed peacefully in her sleep after many long years of enduring and living with pain.
She was born on May 1st, 1934, to James and Vera Omilusik in Watcheer, Alberta. Ann married Howard, the love of her life, on October 15th, 1962. Together they built a house and raised five children. She was an extremely diligent and hard-working farm wife, loved by her family and members of the community as a compassionate and caring person. Ann was one who always had time to listen and comfort, ready to share the love and mercy of the Lord.
The cabinets and freezers were always filled with preserves to keep her family fed and children busy assisting with this effort. It was a family affair, “…if we weren’t in the house shelling peas, snapping beans, and shucking corn, we were outside picking them or bringing in the potato fields. There was no shortage of wonderful food on the table, including jams and pickles. She was one of a kind, wife, mother, neighbour, and friend.” Her special gifts were treasured by all who knew her.
In her mid-years she suffered from back and internal issues which complicated her life with constant pain. Still she kept her chin up and her positive outlook. She didn’t complain but endured to the end. She was a good sport and always up for being silly, loving to laugh with family, hospital staff and friends. Rarely was there ever a day where she forgot to put a flower in her hair, of course, always matching the outfit of the day. As a result, she garnished the name of “flower” which both suited her personality and outlook on life. Flowers need both rain and sunshine to bloom.
When peace, like a river, attendeth my way,
When sorrows like sea billows roll;
Whatever my lot, Thou hast taught me to say,
It is well, it is well with my soul.
She will be Greatly Missed, TILL we meet again.
Surviving Ann are children, Matthew (Tracy), Valerie, Melvin, Verna, Tim (Angela); numerous grandchildren; sisters, Adeline and Jean; as well as extended family and dear friends and associates from Coronation Long Term Care. Ann was predeceased by her husband, Howard Hudson; infant son, Raymond Paul; parents, Jim and Vera; brothers, Jim, Steve, Hank, Ernie, Donny, Joe; and sister, Lil.
