Retha Hudson Rolus Obituary
Retha Hudson Rolus, 59, passed away July 13, 2025.
Retha was born February 9, 1966 in Gravette, Arkansas to Buck Tehee and Linda Harviston-Tehee. Retha was a woman who found joy in the simple things- pages of a good page, the sound of music, and the warmth of laughter. She was known for her bright spirit and her love for her family, who meant the world to her. Whether gathered around the table or enjoying a quiet afternoon, Retha’s presence brought comfort and light.
She will be deeply missed and forever remembered by her husbands, Henry Franklin Rolus, Donnie Hudson, son, Cody Hudson, daughter, Brittany Hudson, brothers, Tommy Tehee, William Bradley, sisters, Stormie VanDusen, Rebecca Tehee, Regina Welch, Marie Bradley, 4 grandchildren, Christian, Austin, Xander, Tristan, special cousin Tommy Elmore, aunt Carolin Hill; and many other loved ones.
She is preceded in passage by her parents, son Tristin Hudson, brothers Jamey Bradley and Justin Bradley, and sister Meredith Bradley.
Private burial will be take place for Retha.
