Obituary of Wallace W. Hudson

Wallace Weir "Wally" Hudson, 85, formerly of Iowa City, passed into Heaven Sunday, January 5th, 2014, in Fountain Hills, Arizona. He was known as a man of honor, and a man of God. Wallace was born on January 3, 1929. He was raised on a farm in the Iowa City area. He married Patricia Mae Pechman on June 4, 1949, and they celebrated their 64th wedding anniversary last summer. Patty was the love of his life and they were inseparable. Wallace farmed for 13 years, and in 1956 he started work at Proctor& Gamble Co. in Iowa City while continuing to farm. During his career with P&G he rose from janitor to Mechanical Manager in the 34 years he worked for the company. Among his many accomplishments were the designing and building of several of his own homes. He also helped design a new P&G production facility in Greensboro, N.C. Wallace was known for his wisdom, kindness and attention to detail in all he did. First and foremost he considered himself a farmer, in love with the land God gave him to tend. No one could have asked for a finer husband, father and friend than Wally. He is survived by his wife Patricia; daughter Linda Jones of Haslet, TX; son Michael Hudson of Fountain Hills, AZ and Chicago, IL; five grandchildren and one great-grandchild. May God bless you Wallace as you have blessed us. We will see you in Heaven. A time of visitation will be held from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., Saturday, January 11, 2014, at the Gay & Ciha Funeral and Cremation Service in Iowa City with a graveside service following that time at Oakhill Cemetery in Coralville. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions can be made to Grace Fellowship Church in Iowa City or SBG Ministries in Greensboro, NC.
