Terah Graves Hudson, 76, passed away peacefully at home after a long battle with Parkinson’s disease and Dementia on November 27, 2016. Dedicated wife, mother, grandmother, great grandmother and friend to many, she loved each one unconditionally. She was a florist and had owned her own flower shop for several years.
