Lori Anne Stafford-Hudson, 57, passed away peacefully at home on Friday, April 19, 2024. Lori was born to Richard C. Stafford and Ann Smith Stafford of Savannah, Georgia. She graduated from St. Andrews School and later received a Bachelor's Degree in Interior Design and Marketing from Brenau University. She was a member of Corinth Baptist Church for many years. Lori was married to her devoted husband of 22 years, Stephen Dewayne Hudson (US Army Retired). Lori and Stephen were blessed with a beautiful daughter, Stafford Elizabeth in 2007. Stafford was Lori's pride and joy.

Lori was a loving mother, wife, daughter and friend. She was the picture of a true southern lady, known for her style, etiquette, grace, and Christian values. Her father instilled a love of the outdoors and she was most at peace spending time with family and friends on the saltwater. She loved animals, especially her German Shepherds. She was known to take in strays and show compassion for the less fortunate. Her loving spirit and kindness will be sorely missed by all those who loved her.

She is survived by her husband, Stephen Hudson; daughter, Stafford Hudson; mother, Ann Stafford; maternal grandmother, Ouida Sutton; her adopted little sister, Jennifer Lynch; lifelong best friend, Robin Sloan; as well as cherished friend Peggy Sue Licavoli and several aunts, uncles, nieces, and nephews.

She was preceded in death by her father, Ricky Stafford; paternal grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Jack Stafford; maternal grandfather, William H. Smith; and maternal step grandfather, E. F. Sutton.
