Clayton "Dick" Hudson, age 86, of Benton, KY, passed away on Thursday, September 3, 2020 at his home.
Clayton was born on November 1, 1933 in Trigg County. He spent his early life living in the Kentucky Woodlands National Wildlife Area near Center Furnace in what is now known as Land Between The Lakes. During his teenage years, he sold concessions and rented boats to people at Hematite Lake. He served in the US Army from 1954 until 1956 and was in the 3rd Armored Division stationed at Fort Knox and later at Whittier, Alaska.
He always had a great love of the outdoors and spent most of his adult life working for the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife. He retired in 1995, as Camp Superintendent, from Camp John W. Currie Clayton, was a member of New Harmony Baptist Church of Benton, and loved God, his family, and Camp Currie more than anything else in this world.
He is survived by his wife of 66 years, Mable Doris Taylor Hudson; daughters, Doris Hudson (Don) Lents of Paducah, Tammy Hudson (Larry) Nanney of Aurora; as well as granddaughter, Natalie Bush-Lents of Charlotte, NC; and great-granddaughter, Naomi Bush-Lents of Charlotte, NC. He is also survived by several nieces and nephews.
Clayton was preceded in death by his parents, Grover “Cleve” Hudson and Eva Mae Cossey Hudson. He was the last surviving child of the couple as he outlived his ten siblings. He was preceded in death by an infant sister, Florence; an infant brother, Edward; one sister, Beulah Cothran; and seven brothers, Ross, Robert, David, James "Jim," Nelson, Wallace "Fluff," and Bryan "Boonie" Hudson.
Funeral services will be held at Filbeck-Cann Funeral Home of Milner and Orr on Saturday, September 5, 2020 at 1:00 PM with Bro. Elijah Balentine officiating. Burial will follow in Matheny Cemetery.
