Patricia Ann (Gillam) Hudson was born December 22, 1954, to Reldon and Mildred (Carl) Gillam in St. Louis, MO.  She went home to be with the Lord Jesus on January 28, 2023.  While attending College of the Ozarks she met (on a blind date) her future husband, George Hudson.  They were married on April 2, 1976, and to this union a daughter, Kelly Anne, was born.

Patricia loved the Lord Jesus with all her heart.  She was a quiet person until she believed that her faith or the Lord Jesus were evil spoken of.  She would spend hours in conversation with unbelievers and people who had strayed.  Only until shortly before her passing did I learn of the success of many of those conversations.  She truly loved the Lord and is now home with him.  She is the sweetest, most caring and loving person I have ever met and I am blessed of the Lord to call her my wife.

Patricia was preceded in death by her parents, Reldon (Joe) and Mildred Gillam and one grandson, Bryon Thomas.

Survivors include: her husband, George, daughter, Kelly both of Blue Eye, MO; two sisters, Betty (Bob) Chandler of Lake of the Ozarks, MO and Barbara Walker of Enterprise, AL; one brother, Randy Gillam of Sunrise Beach, MO and a host of nieces and nephews and friends.

Visitation for Patricia will be Saturday, February 4, 2023, 1:00-2:00 p.m. at Stumpff Funeral Chapel in Kimberling City, MO with service to follow at 2:00 p.m. with Pastor Larry Keeth officiating.  In lieu of flowers donations to the family would be appreciated.  Arrangements are under the direction of Stumpff Funeral Home Kimberling City, MO.
