John L Hudson Sr, 83, of Greenwood - John went home to his lord and his wife, Alice, on Sunday, Oct. 24, 2021. John was born to John P Hudson and Ella Mae (Huckleberry-Hudson) Foley on Jan. 2nd , 1938. Which made him Columbus, Indiana's first baby born of the new year.
John was a Center Grove graduate and a life time member of First Baptist Church of Greenwood, which is where he met and married his wife of 62 years, Alice Henderson Hudson. She preceded him in death this past March. John retired after 37 years from Borden's Milk and Dairy to become the child care provider and spoiling his great granddaughters.
John was active in the Indiana Jaycees, where he met many of his lifelong friends and several sports from bowling, church league softball and basketball. His favorite teams were IU , the Pacers and the Indianapolis Colts, of which he was a season ticket holder for over 24 years. But some of his most enjoyable times came before the game while tailgating on his Colts bus. However, his most cherished times were anything that involved his family and friends.
