It is with sadness we announce the passing of Cynthia Diann Hudson (Hart) at 51. Cynthia passed away peacefully at our family’s home in Chase BC on July 1, 2014. For 33 years Chase was where she had made our house a home.
Cynthia was born in Whitehorse, Yukon to her parents Rev. Russell and Darlene Hart. Cynthia loved animals, crafting, anything to do with Unicorns and most of all being in nature. Her community was very important to her and she had great memories of her time volunteering with the Scouts. She took great pride in her work ethic and is best known for her impeccable customer service. Her contagious smile and giggle will be missed but never forgotten. Most important to her were her children and husband. Even as her health was failing and her children were grown and on their own they were always on her mind and she never stopped showing them unconditional love and support.
Cynthia is survived by her husband William Hudson, daughter Andrea Hudson and son Daniel Hudson. She is also survived by her father Russell Hart of Salmon Arm BC, brother, Walter Hart of Ponoka AB and sister, Lyn Winfield of Renton WA, and a host of loving and supportive family and friends. Cynthia is predeceased by her mother Darlene Hart (Hemenway).
We would like to thank the Doctors and staff at the Chase Interior Health Center and the Royal Inland Hospital in Kamloops. We also send a special thank you to Dr. Nair of Kamloops BC.
In lieu of flowers please feel free to make a donation to your favorite charity.

Here it is, several months after she has passed away that I’ve finally found my childhood friend. How sad that makes me feel. We were just 6 and 7 years old in Fort Smith, NWT but I recall Cynthia as my first best friend. The last time I heard from her we would have been pre-teens I think. She lived in Brownvale, AB if I recall correctly. I tried to find her off and on during my adulthood. I wondered about her last year after I had my heart attack. Well, I see that she has gone home ahead of me. That’s OK – I’ll forever treasure her memory.
My condolences to her family and friends – I did not know most of you, but I’ll bet you miss her dearly.

Our heart felt condolences extend to all members of your family and all who knew and loved Cynthia. I think all of us would agree that her smile and laugh was absolutely contagious – and I always appreciated Cynthia because she was such a genuine and sincere person. Every time I see anything that even remotely resembles a sapphire I think of her with fond memories of how she loved her sapphires! We will truly miss Cynthia and our thoughts and prayers will continue for all of you for a long, long time. We are honoured to have known her….thank you for sharing her with us and for bringing her into our store just to say “hi”.
