During their marriage, Hudon Sr.’s career as an engineer in sales and management for Union Carbide and Cabolt Corporations allowed them the opportunity to move all over the U.S. In addition to raising two sons, Nadine worked for Sears in their local accounting department wherever they landed. She was known for her extraordinary attention to detail, outstanding memory, endearing southern accent, ability to see humor in everyday life, and positive attitude. She was humble, but her impact on the lives around her was profound. She is greatly missed and her example will live on in those who knew her.
