William “Bill” Hudgins of Lethbridge, beloved husband of Diana Hudgins, passed away peacefully after a lengthy illness at Chinook Regional Hospital on September 4, 2024, at the age of 80 years.
Besides his loving wife, Diana, Bill is survived by his children; Stacey (Brian) Wichers, Jason Hudgins, Darryl (Kaylene) Onofrychuck, Shelley (Rory) Smith, grandchildren; Easton, Brittany, Paige, Taylor, Ashely, Matthew, Josh, Gregory, Angela, Nicole; and great-grandchildren, Holly, Damien, Archer and Amelia.
Born in Peterborough, Ontario, Bill’s heart was in Alberta where he had completed his basic training for the United Peace Keeping Forces. Bill moved to Calgary in 1980 and settled permanently with Diana in Lethbridge in 1982. Bill was proud to have worked for Facilities Management at the University of Lethbridge for 28 years.
Bill was a man of few words, but he loved fishing with best friend, Sonny and looked forward to getting together at Keho Lake to catch up and put a pole in the water. Bill also enjoyed watching his grandchildren’s soccer, football and hockey games and attending dance recitals.
Flowers are gratefully declined. Those who wish, memorial donations can be made to the Canadian Cancer Society.
A private family service will be held later.
