Jimmie Don Hudnall, 82, of Stafford, VA, passed away on December 9, 2024. Affectionately known as Jim Don, he was born on May 25, 1942 in Charleston, WV.
Jim Don was the son of Charles Preston Hudnall, Jr. and Edith (Eskins) Hudnall. He graduated from Collins High School (class of 1960) in Oak Hill, WV. He attended Beckley College in Beckley, WV before being drafted into the US Army where he served 2 years in Vietnam.
