JOLAYNE HUDSON passed away surrounded by family at the Raymond Hospital on Tuesday, July 5, 2016. She was born July 11, 1937 in Raymond, AB to Auburn Tillack and Lucille McBride. She has four siblings: LaWona (Don) Fecho, Bryan (Sharon) Tillack, Bruce (Mary) Tillack and Theresa Ann who passed away at an early age. Throughout her life she lived in Stirling, Raymond, Rosemary, Calgary, Lethbridge and finally back in Raymond. Jolayne met her husband George Arthur Hudson in Raymond. They both ended up moving to Calgary where their courtship blossomed. They were married on August 20, 1956 and would have been celebrating 60 years of marriage this summer. Together they had six children: Dwight, Gordon (Maria), Rory (June), Susan (Glade) Roberts, Sheila (Barry) Robinson, and Sharon (Scott) Graham. From these six children they were blessed with 27 grandchildren and 24 great grandchildren. Jolayne was an active member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints all of her life. She served in various positions including four missions with her husband Art. Her hands were always being involved in the service of others. Many have received the benefits of a meal brought to them or a baby blanket.

Interment to follow in the Temple Hill Cemetery, Raymond.
Art, my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this time. Upon the sudden death of my father last year my Aunt Joan referred to his passing as his graduation day. With that thought in mind I have prepared a poem for you. I hope this gives you some much needed comfort at this time.

Graduation Day
by Chonita Sims
It’s graduation day
for Jolayne Hudson
as she is called home
by her Father in Heaven.
It’s graduation day
as Jolayne’s spirit leaves her mortal shell
after successfully completing
her mortal education.
It’s graduation day
as we mourn the loss of a
friend, a grandmother, a mother, a wife,
a soul mate.
It’s graduation day
as sorrow fills our hearts
while Jolayne’s mortal body is laid to rest
until the time when her spirit and body are reunited.
It’s graduation day
as we grieve our recent loss.
And as we mourn Jolayne remains with us,
crying with us while comforting us
in her own special way.
It’s graduation day
for Jolayne Hudson.

July 11, 1937 – July 5, 2016
This is but a temporary good-bye
until our own graduation day
where we will be reunited with Jolayne
never again to be separated.
It’s graduation day
for Jolayne Hudson.
