Alice T. Hudson: 1890-1992
Alice T. Hudson, 101, died May 8, 1992, in Oak Creek at the home of her son. She was born August 5, 1890, to John and Sara Twibey in Derbyshire, England. Alice spent her childhood in England, where she was educated. On March 8, 1913, Alice married Harry Hudson. From their marriage they had two sons, Eric and Hayden. Hayden preceded her in death. Harry and Alice came to Routt County in 1922 along with Alice's mother. While in Oak Creek, Alice was involved with her community. During the war she would write to servicemen and send baked goods. Alice was also actively involved with the Red Cross. One of her biggest accomplishments was her initiative in getting the South Rutt Medical Center established. Alice also ran the RIO Theatre of Aok Creek. In her leisure time Alice loved to walk, fish, crochet, bake and be with people. According to her grandson, she kept all the children in third addition supplied with cookies, candy and hugs. Alice was a firm believer in God, which kept her strong through the death of her son Hayden and her husband who died in 1971.

Alice will be remembered by family and friends as a caring person who would go out of her way to help someone, whether stranger or family. She showed a sense of humor that was often hard to understand - but both her and her victim would end up with a big smile.

Alice leaves behind four generations of a loving family including her son Eric and wife Bonnie of Oak Creek; granddaughters Nancy and Glen Bronnenburg of Oak Creek, Debbie and Glenn Paxton of Oak Creek, Marla and Jerry Biterstein of Littleton, Janice and Larry Cookman of Lynnwood, Washington and grandson Rick Hudson of Seattle, Washington. She had nine great-grandchildren and three great-great-grandchildren. This family was the highlight of her life.
