As the moon quietly rose in the night sky, so did Janice H. (Kalb) Hudson's spirit. Formerly of Lambertville, Michigan and Tucson, Arizona, she was born Janice Helen Suckstorf, on February 15, 1922 in Scottsbluff, Nebraska and went to her eternal rest on January 20, 2013.
She resided in Tucson, Arizona for 25 years, before moving back to Michigan a year ago. While in Tucson, for 22 years, she enjoyed playing golf with her golfing "sisters", Jackie, Fran and Marge. She was a member of the Sun City Vistoso Golf Club, was an active member in P.E.O. Chapter DU and attended the Vista de la Montana United Methodist Church.
Prior to the passing of her husband, Irv, they enjoyed traveling, dancing and going on many trips to Irv's submarine reunions.
She will be remembered by her family, for her chocolate chip cookies, her laughter and always for being a lovely lady.
