Our beloved Kaitlin Paige Hudson, age 27 of Dardanelle, sadly passed away Friday, October 27, 2023 at National Park Medical Center. She was born June 14, 1996 in Russellville, Arkansas to Naomi Watts and Travis Hudson. Kaitlin was a lovely, strong and passionate person. She was feisty and she loved fiercely, especially when it came to her 3 children, whom she adored.

Having been born and raised in the River Valley, she will be mourned by so many of our community who had the privilege to know her. Those that knew her, knew she gave more than most people: More love; More hugs; More laughs; More spitfire, and even in her death she found a way to give more, she gave more life. As a living donor, she gave life to 4 people the same day we gave her back to God.

She brought sunshine to your day in her smile and her hugs left her imprint on your heart. Her family and friends will miss her laughter and playful spirit. Oh how we wish we could have built decades more of life with her, to see who she would become! Yet we are so grateful for the memories we have and the stories we will share about her. Words fall short to capture her 27 years of life, so to put it simply, she sparkled.

Kaitlin is dancing with Jesus now, and not alone. She was preceded in death by her great grandparents, William and Rachel Watts, William and Bertha Dawson; grandparents Larry and Pamela Lee and uncle Darrin Bullard.

Survived by her mother and stepfather, Naomi Watts and William Lee, father and step mother, Travis Hudson and Tesha Brewer; 3 of the most beautiful and beloved children, Bentley, Jayden and Ariella; brothers, Tyler, William and Bryson Hudson; sisters, Katherine Lee and Kylie Hudson; grandparents Ellen and John Currie, Jaime Dawson, Howard and Miranda Verwiebe; nieces, Savannah Hudson and Lorelei Lee; nephew Jayden Hudson; and so many aunts, uncles and cousins who loved her and many friends who will miss her.

In lieu of flower, please consider donating to the care of her surviving children. Also, consider meeting together with her family and friends and sharing a drink as you recount memories of our beloved Katibaby.

Memorial services will be held at 1:30P.M., Thursday, November 2, 2023 at Home Church in Dardanelle with Eddie Shaffer officiating.
