Mrs. Hudson was my AVON for about twenty years. I met her when I lived at Tivoli Apartments, she knocked on my door and offered me a book and I was hooked. My kids remember going to her house to get my orders, the big Magnolia trees, the fireplace, smell of something good cooking, and all kinds of crafts in progress all over. She was a special lady in every way, and I am glad to have had her as a friend.
May Gods Peace and Perfect Love comfort the Family today and always.

It is with sadness that I have read of the passing of such and sweet and kind lady. I met ruby 45 years ago when her daughter, Brenda and I shared a room at the hospital when our children were born. Ruby was a gentle lady and always helping others. She became my Avon lady and was really a sharp saleswoman. I know the family will miss her but I also know they are pleased that she is now free of discomfort and walking the streets of gold with her savior. May the Lord comfort each family member and may they all keep Ruby alive in their hearts.
