Marie Emma Rose

Marie (Polly) Emma Rose 1934 - 2022

Our beautiful loving mother, Marie Emma Rose, 88, peacefully passed away Monday, December 12, 2022 in Leucadia, California.

Mom was born July 31, 1934 in Flint, Michigan, the daughter of John and Helen (LaPratt) TerBush. She was the third oldest of nine siblings and grew up on the family farm in Mayville, Michigan. As a very young girl, Mom especially liked to snack on crackers, thereby earning her nickname; closest friends and family still refer to her as "Polly". Upon graduating high school and turning 18 years old, Marie moved out on her own to the YWCA in downtown San Diego, California because she wanted to be closer to Hollywood movie stars. Mom soon met and married our dad, Darrell Francis Hudson, and they eventually settled in Carlsbad, California to raise their three children: Clifford Charles, Linda Marie, and David Lyle Hudson. Mom was a lifelong homemaker and lived at our family home from August 1959 until July 2022, when it was decided to move her into the Leucadia House, a residential care facility.

Survivors include her children; Cliff and Vicky Hudson of Lewisville, Texas, Robin (Rose) and Gary Maple of Vista, California, and David and Chia Hudson of Colorado Springs, Colorado; Polly's siblings; Joyce Papkey of Davidson, Michigan, Hazel Wagner of Caro, Michigan, Shirley Beutler of Burton, Michigan, Melvin and Cookie TerBush of Waterford, Michigan, and Raymond and Diane TerBush of Mayville, Michigan; and her many grandchildren and nieces and nephews.

Polly was preceded in death by her parents, her first husband Darrell Hudson (1970), her second husband Alvin (Lefty) Rose (2019), her precious daughter Linda Hudson (2022), and her siblings Viola Kukulski (1998), Richard Terbush (2005) and Sharron Tedford (2014).

Pursuant to her wishes, there will not be a formal funeral service. Mom's ashes will be scattered at sea to join with those of her beloved Lefty Rose.
