KATHRYN “KATHY” REVERE HUDSON WALKER
Kathryn “Kathy” Revere Hudson Walker, age 59, of Stuart, passed away peacefully at home on Friday, May 25, 2018 after a prolonged illness. She was born in Danville on March 16, 1959. She was preceded in death by her father, Richard “Dick” Dunkley Hudson; and special friend, J.L. Cockram. She was a lifelong member of Stuart United Methodist Church.
Surviving are her mother, Kathryn “Kitty” Hale Hudson of Stuart; her brother, Richard “Rick” Hudson, Jr. of Fort Worth, Texas, first cousin Jane Hudson Richardson of Bridgewater and her ex-husband, Ken Walker of Marrero, La.
Kathy loved animals, especially dogs and horses, and the highlight of this career experience was in veterinary clinics in the New Orleans area. She loved to cook and worked in various restaurants around Patrick County, including Woodbury Inn near Meadows of Dan. Most people will remember her from her many years at Hudson’s Drug Store in Stuart.
Like her father, she enjoyed the people of Patrick County and possessed a respect for the older citizens and what you could learn from them. Kathy held a fondness for bluegrass and mountain music and enjoyed attending the many local music festivals.
She was a creative horticulturist and developed gardens that included plants, flowers and ferns she collected locally in the Blue Ridge. She was an avid reader, possessed a remarkable sense of humor and quick wit, a keen observer of people, a great storyteller and an engaging conversationalist. These qualities in Kathy found expression through her being a strong individual, a free spirit and a creative thinker.
Among her most admirable qualities were her compassion and generosity, caring particularly for those people that she found genuinely in need. Elderly people in the Glenwood Terrace neighborhood often benefitted from her kindness and good home-cooking.
Kathy provided dedicated and conscientious in-home care for both of her parents with the assistance of very dedicated caregivers.
Funeral services were held Tuesday, May 29, 2018 at Moody Funeral Home in Stuart. The Rev. Jim Churchwell officiated. Burial was in the Stuart Cemetery. Memorials may be made to PAWS (Patrick Animal Welfare Society), P.O. Box 743, Stuart, VA 24171. Online condolences may be sent to www.moodyfuneralservices.com.
