LuAnn was born September 16, 1935 in Marshall, TX to Doris (Sug) and George E. (Bunny) Young. She was a lifelong resident of Marshall, and graduate of MHS class of 1953. She was known to family and friends as "Cissy". She married her high school sweetheart, Kenneth Hudson, July 10, 1953. They raised four sons and a daughter.

After retirement of nineteen years as a medical assistant with George Bennett, M.D., she spent a lot of time traveling the U.S., Canada, and had the privilege of visiting Alaska, Italy, New Zealand, and Australia with her dear husband and good friends. The last several years were spent RVing with their camping buddies.
