Kaye Hudgins, 79, widow of Billy Joe Hudgins, passed away on Friday, June 17, 2022 after succumbing to the effects of Alzheimer’s. She was born in Campbellsville, KY and graduated from Campbellsville High School. 

Kaye married Bill on July 2, 1961 and they shared their life together until his death in 2008. After a few years of marriage, Kaye and Bill settled in Lexington to raise their family. Kaye was trained in bookkeeping and worked for Lexington Steel Supply until Bill’s job took them to Goldsboro, North Carolina in 1986.  After several years, Bill’s job took he and Kaye from North Carolina to Germantown, Tennessee to Hendersonville, Tennessee and finally settling back in Campbellsville in 1995. In Campbellsville, Kaye joined Wholesale Hardwood Interiors as a bookkeeper and worked there until her retirement in 2006.  Kaye enjoyed her retirement by spending time with her children and grandchildren. She also enjoyed playing cards and dominoes with her sisters, Jane and Jessie, and her brother, Donnie and sister-in-law, Viola.  She also enjoyed her morning walks with good friend, Carol Mobley.
