Vicki Hudson

August 17, 1955 – November 27, 2024 

It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Vicki Hudson 69, who left us

peacefully surrounded by family. Born in Warren Michigan, she ended up in New Mexico

where she found a whole new and creative life. Vicki was a remarkable human being

whose love and kindness touched everyone around her. She lite up the room with her

laughter and her beautiful smile.

Vicki was an extraordinary wife, artist and a great friend, embodying devotion and love

for Richard throughout their eight years together. Their relationship was a beautiful

tapestry woven from shared experiences and cherished moments. There was nothing

Vicki and Richard didn’t do together, whether working the yard and creating a special

little area that they both loved, planting and caring for their little garden spaces

scattered around the yard.

Vicki loved to play in the workshop creating various forms of art. Vicki loved to learn and

find new ways of creating sculptures from found objects, this was new to her, but she

put a special magic into everything she made. Vicki's presence made every moment

special. Anyone that has one of her pieces of artwork say that there is something very

magical about it. Whether it was one of her sculptures or one of her beautiful and

natural pieces of stone jewelry.

Vicki was a child of nature; she loved walking in the woods looking for that special little

stone that would find its way into her pocket. She would reach down a pickup one up

and if it didn’t feel right, she would put it right back where she found it. Vicki loved

animals she had a bunch of pigmy goats, lots of dogs and she even had a monkey. Her

favorite dog was a husky named Spirit who would always keep her in view while she

poked around looking of artifacts and that special little medicine stone.

An avid reader, Vick found solace in reading about Native American history, and fictional

stories, she said that there was so much to be learned from the old ways.

Vicki was survived by her husband and partner of 12 years Richard, siblings Evelyn,

Franklin and Brenda children Josh, Nola and Jessica, grandchildren Garret Jaycie,

Bree, Raelynn and Emrys, Ayden Franklin Lisa Andrew, Maison and Great

grandchildren, Quinn, Beckett, Clara and so many friends that will truly miss her

Vicki’s generosity, kindness, and zest for life made her an extraordinary individual

whose light will be deeply missed but fondly remembered by all who knew her.
