Beth Hudson

September 26, 1919 — August 12, 2011

BETH HUDSON was born to Joseph William and Emma Elizabeth (Kerkove) Haubrich on September 26, 1919 in Pipestone, Minnesota. She was raised on the family farm southeast of Pipestone where she attended country school. She continued her education at the high school in Pipestone. After her graduation in 1936, she worked at the Montgomery Ward Store in Pipestone for a number of years until the time of her marriage to Rex Hudson in Madison, Minnesota. Following their marriage, they lived in Rutland, South Dakota. In 1953, they moved to Pipestone where Beth worked at the Pipestone County Hospital until her retirement in 1977. On March 7, 2006, she became a resident of the Good Samaritan Communities of Pipestone. Rex preceded her in death on August 27, 2007. After his death, she continued to live at the Good Samaritan home where she died on Friday, August 12, 2011, at the age of 91 years, ten months and 16 days.

Beth was an active member of St. Leo Catholic Church in Pipestone. On September 21, 2003, she was awarded the Bishops Medal from Bishop Harrington for her faith-filled and willing service to the parish of St. Leo. She was a founding member of the Catholic Daughters. Beth and Rex spent many years wintering in the Rio Grande Valley in Texas. While in Texas, she was active as a volunteer teacher’s aide. She was very talented with her floral arrangements.

She is lovingly remembered by her son, Larry (Susan Stach) Hudson of Vermillion, South Dakota; three granddaughters, Luci Hudson, Bobbi Greenfield and Molli Greenfield; one sister-in-law, Billie Sehorn; and many nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her husband, Rex; her parents; and 12 brothers and sisters.
