Constance Bernardini Hudson, 89, passed away peacefully on Sunday, March 24, 2019 at Heaton Woods in Montpelier, Vermont where she was a resident. Connie was born on March 19, 1930 in Montpelier. She was the daughter of Leon and Anna (Felix) Bernardini. Connie graduated from Montpelier High School in 1948. She met the love of her life Norman W. Hudson at the Imperial Diner in Montpelier. They were married in 1957 and made their first home in Lunenburgh, VT. Norm and Connie moved back to Montpelier in 1964 and raised three children on North Street. Connies working career included the Montpelier National Bank, the Capital City Gas Company and Dennis, Ricker and Brown Insurance. Connie had a deep love for her family; she loved camping, skiing, biking and canoeing with her children. She and her children spent many summers boating and swimming in Lake Groton at her sisters camp. Connie was always busy. She was a Cub Scout den mother and volunteered her time with Argus Santa every Christmas. Connie was a fashionista, always dressed to the nines with never a hair out of place. Much to her childrens chagrin, cleaning was also one of her talents and there was a place for everything and everything was neatly in its place. Her grace and kindness will be missed by those whose lives she touched. After her children were grown she was a dedicated Grandmother and spent many happy hours with her grandchildren. Connie was a talented crafter and embarked on an adventure with her sister, Sally Foti, creating beautiful angels, which they sold at craft shows around Vermont. She was predeceased by her husband, Norman Hudson; and her sister, Sally Bernardini Foti. She is survived by her brother, Doug Bernardini; her children, John Hudson and his wife, Brenda; Sue Hudson and her husband, Terry Culver; and David Hudson and his wife, Patty. Grandchildren Erik, Luke and Stephen Hudson and his wife, Jillian; Josh Culver, Ashley Carver and Justin Carver; and two great grandsons, William Hudson and Jojo Pratt ; nephews, Steve and Michael Bernardini; Scott OGrady; Andrew Hudson; and nieces, Cindy Bernardini, and Amy Hudson. The family would like to thank the staff and residents of Heaton Woods for the endless love and caring they provided. Connie was always happy there and developed many close relationships.
