Evelyn Carter Hudson

Ms. Evelyn Carter Hudson, 79, of Frankfort, was united with Christ Jesus on February 6, 2021. A graveside service will be held Thursday, February 18, 2021, 2 p.m. at Dutch Tract Cemetery, Pleasureville, Kentucky officiated by Reverend Philip Case. Ms. Hudson was born in Henry County, Kentucky to Dorothy James Carter and the late Kenneth E. Carter, Sr. whilst the entire world was engaged in war for the second time. A mere two days following the historic attack on Pearl Harbor, Evelyn came into the world and would forever recall her birth connected to those consequential days. Her nearly 80 years since, however, represent a life antithetical to those challenging times - one filled with love, joy, family, work, service, and sacrifice. Following commencement from the inaugural graduating class of Franklin County High School, Evelyn attended the former Fugazzi College of Business. She would go on to work and retire from the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife where she served as an accountant for over 27 years, but not before spending several years at home raising her two sons. Evelyn was well known for her sewing talents and enjoyed doing alterations for the many who called on her. Crocheting was another hobby of Evelyn’s and one she relished. She especially enjoyed gifting her hand-crafted items to friends and family. An avid gardener, her grown sons would fuss about the number of hours she’d spend in her yard exhausting herself, but she loved every minute. Evelyn’s ultimate pastime was returning to circle her beloved Game Farm Road where she’d spent her entire career, fished for fun, and enchantedly observed wildlife. She was a member of Bridgeport Christian Church and especially treasured reading The Bridge. Evelyn will be lovingly remembered by family, friends, and special neighbors she cherished. Ms. Hudson is preceded in death by her father, Kenneth E. Carter, Sr., and brother, Kenneth E. Carter, Jr. She is survived by her sons Scott (Tammi) Hudson and Steve (Krista) Hudson, grandchildren Rachael, Nathan, Caroline, and Carter Hudson, all of Frankfort, mother Dorothy James Carter of Cadiz, brother William David (Donna) Carter of Cadiz, niece Robin Stevens, nephews Wayne Carter, Rusty Carter, and Kelly Carter, and a host of great-nieces and great-nephews. The family wishes to extend their gratitude to the staff of Crestview Center, Shelbyville and Hosparus of Louisville for the exceptional care provided to Ms. Hudson. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to the Franklin County Humane Society, L.I.F.E. House for Animals, Frankfort, or Hosparus of Louisville.
