On July 24, 1926 God sent an angel to live among us in the person of Susan Ann Hilliard
Hudson. She was the 11th child born to the late Sidney Davis Hilliard and Lula Ann Hunter Hilliard. She was born and reared in Nash County, NC where she received her formal education. Susan accepted Jesus Christ as her personal savior during a revival
service, at an early age. She joined St. John Missionary Baptist Church, Red Oak, NC where her father served as Chairman of the Deacon Board.
Susan is preceded in death by her parents, her sisters; Victoria, Glossie, Elizabeth, Gladys, Mabel, Mozel, Lathan, Viola, Delia and Sidneybelle; her brothers Dunbar, Dewitt Arnold, Lonnie, Earnest and Paul.
Susan leaves to cherish her memory, her daughter, Ozella Hailey (Raymond), Garland, Texas; her son, Elliott Hudson (Terrie), Sandy Springs, GA; sisters; Vera Mann,
Whitakers, NC and Willis Allen (George), Irvington, NJ; her much loved sister-in-law,
Arbutus Hilliard, Nashville, NC; grand-daughters; Elisa Hudson, Atlanta, GA and
Brittany Hudson, Dallas, TX; beloved great-grand, Eden Olivia-Rose Hudson, Dallas, TX; and a host of nieces, nephews, family and friends.
A personal request from Susan Hudson, "Do not send flowers once I’m gone".
