In a log cabin on March 23, 1886, in Lloyd, Florida, the oldest daughter of the late Mr. Whitfield Barrington and the late Mother Hattie Redman was bom--Marit nee Mariah.
She attended a private school for Blacks which was operated by Dr. McLeod's mother and his two sisters. Marie attended that school up to the flfth grade but was unable to remain because of the need to help with the support of her family.
In 19(f], Marie moved to Orlando and began working to help her mother save enough money to build a home. She was employed by the Charles Dower family. Mr. Dower was the president of the Frrst National Bank. The Dowers were tourists who lived in Florida during the winter and in Boston during the summer. She worked for them until 1908.
On Febru-ary 8, 1909, she married the late Mr. L. H. Hudson. The next day, they moved to Lake Helen. The Hudsons moved in 1910 to Jacksonville. She received her diploma as a Licensed Practical Nurse from The Chicago Training School in Chicago, lllinois. In 1918, Marie was employed at Orange General Hospital where she worked for seven years as a practical nurse.
Mother Hudson later moved to Miami where she and her sister opened the largest black-o'Yned hotel in the south. During that time, Mother Hudson owned and operated a beauty
shop with six operators. At the age of 12, Mother Hudson was converted and
accepted Christ under the pastorate of the late Superintendent Gamble in Miami, Florida. In 1941, she and her husband moved back to Orlando where she joined Malone Memorial Church of God in Christ. She remained faithful and loyal to the Lord and to her leaders down through the years: the late Bishop W. R. Nesbitt, Sr. and her present pastor, Bishop M. L. Sconiers. Her life was centered around the church, attended Sunday School faithfully, and was a staunch supporter of the
church. One of the highest honors bestowed upon Mother Hudson
was to receive an official invitation from The White House to attend the Inauguration Ceremonies for President Jimmie Carter in 1976. Throughout his campaign, Mother Hudson had written letters of encouragement to President Carter letting him know that she was praying for him. Mother Hudson attended the festivities and thanked God for this opportunity of a
lifetime. After 25 years of service as a devoted nurse at DePugh
Nursing Home in Winter Park, Mother Hudson "retired" but . continued her avocation by serving as the President of
Malone's Nurses' Guild and State President of the Nurses' Guild for the Jurisdiction of Western Florida. Each month Mother Hudson went beyond her duties by presenting the
Church's Building Fund with special monies to help build our
new edifice. "Mother" loved her family. She would return home reunion and visit with relatives.

''THE PORTRAIT A GOD-FEARING WOMAN''
u .a woman thatfeareth the Lord, she shall be praised." -Proverbs 31 :30
The Malone Church Family shall cherish most dearly the evening Mother Hudson sponsored a musical concert to help raise money for the building fund. The concert featured a group of singers who sang all original songs written by Mother Hudson. Enthusiastically, she 44planMd her work" and then ~~worked her plan" by contacting her family, friends and associates to help her reach a special fmancial goal. To the honor and glory of God, the service was a great success and the church reaped the harvest of her labors.
Mother Hudson was blessed beyond measure to remain as active and independent as she was during her centenarian years especially while a resident of Antioch Manor, where she had her own apartment, prepared her meals and was involved in various activities.
During the latter months as her health began to fail--but not her faith--she longed to live in no other place but heaven, and on Sunday, July 1, in the coolness of the early morning, in DePugh Nursing Home, God summoned His servant--sweetly and peacefully she answered, ~~Yes d."
