Virginia C. Hudson
1934-2023
Winslow – Virginia C. Hudson, 89, of Winslow passed away peacefully Wednesday, Oct. 25, 2023, with
family by her side at Lakewood Continuing Care Center. Virginia was born in East Vassalboro, Maine, on
May 25, 1934, the daughter of James and Clara (Willett) Shirley. She attended School in Winslow and
married her high school sweetheart, Kenneth W. Hudson, on August 12, 1951. They were married 56
years until Kenneth passed away in 2007. Together, they raised three daughters.
"Gina" as she was fondly called made a career in healthcare. She obtained her CNA at Waterville High
School and her PT assistant credentials at CMVTI. She held multiple healthcare positions and finished
her career at Oakgrove Nursing Center in Waterville, Maine after 39 years of service. Gina also loved to
cook and make crafts. She provided family and friends with gifts made at her home and from her heart
continuously. She could often be heard running the sewing machine in the middle of the night making
her hand made gifts and there was always something fabulous she was cooking in her kitchen.
Virginia was predeceased by her parents, five brothers, one sister, and her husband. She is survived by
her only remaining sibling, Barbara Trahan; her three daughters and families, Barbara and Stephen
Owen, Betty Ouellette and partner Robin Brown, and Brenda Pryor; four grandchildren and families,
George and Elizabeth Ouellette, Fred and Amy Ouellette, Daniel and Beth Ouellette, and Bridget and Tim Mitchell; and special friends and care givers, Cindy Gilbert and Daniel Poulin.
The Family would like to thank all of the staff at Lakewood for the exceptional care and compassion given to Virginia and the family at the end of her life and to the Beacon Hospice staff for their attention and loving care. At the request of Virginia, there will be a graveside service held at Lakeview Cemetery in Oakland Nov. 4, 2023 at 11:00. Memorial donations may be made to Waterville Humane Society, 100 Webb Road, Waterville, Maine 04901.
