Edward "Eddie" K Hudson died Thursday February 25, 2021 at the age of 82 after a prolonged battle with his health.  Beyond being a dedicated husband, father and friend, Eddie spent 21 years serving in the Airforce and was most proud of his time spent with the Intelligence Squadron.  After which he dedicated 20 plus years with ATCO Rubber Products. His service to the Airforce and years of employment pale in comparison to Eddie's passion to genealogy – tracing his family ancestry back to 300 AD. The family would like to give a special Thank You to staff of Westwood Health and Rehab facility for their tireless and loving care for Eddie over the past 3 years.

Eddie is survived by his wife Jean Ann of Springdale; children, Ruth Anne (Michael) Clark of TX and Steven (Karolyn) Hudson of TN; brothers, Randy and Kenny Hudson both of AR; sister, June Borland of OK, Laura Wills of AR and Katherine Pierce of AR; stepdaughters, Cynthia Roberts of AR, Melody Rush of OK, Rebecca Rush of TX and Erin Simpson of AR. He shared his life with 16 grandchildren and 16 great-grandchildren and will be missed by all.
