Laurinburg
John Warren Hudson, age 87, died September 9, 2014, at Scotia Village.
He was born in Toledo, Ohio on February 28, 1927 to James and Helen (Buchanan) Hudson. He served with the US Army.
John met and married Meredith Hagerman when both were students at the College of Wooster (Ohio) from which they graduated in 1950. John worked for Libbey Owens Ford (LOF) in Toledo for 22 years before being named Plant Manager of a new glass plant to be built in Laurinburg. The 6 years there saw the glass business being very successful and the community gaining from his many activities. John and Meredith moved back to Toledo in 1978 and John retired from LOF in 1983. In 1991, John and Meredith returned to Laurinburg and in 2011 moved to Scotia Village. During his retirement, he served two churches as their financial manager. John served many years on the Laurinburg Presbyterian Church Session, devoted years with Scotland Memorial Hospital on the Finance and Investment Committees, and was treasurer of Church Community Services for 15 years. He received the Silver Beaver Scout Award for service to the Boy Scouts.
John never lost his positive outlook and was a model of a good, gentle man to all who knew him. He was known for his quiet nature, good judgment, and problem solving ability. He truly was a family man.
Besides his wife of 65 years, he is survived by children John (Vickie) and their children Jason (Rebecca) and Matt (Jenny) and their grandchildren Spencer, Beatrice, Killian, and Jameson; Jane Cooper (Jim) and their children Aaron (Kara), Valerie, Emily (Ben Salmon), and Sean and their grandchildren Julia, Charlotte, Caleb, Sydney, and Hayley; Jim (Pam) and their children Jeremy (Andrea) and Jayme Sabin (Matt) and their grandchildren Mathew, Porter, Alexis, Brooklyn, and Austin; Joe (Barb) and their children Elin and Abby; and Julie Barnes (Carl) and their children Kelly (Maggie) and Jodie.
