Kim Taylor Hudson, beloved wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, and friend, passed away suddenly on September 18, 2024, at the age of 70. Born on May 10, 1954, in Payson, Utah, she was the daughter of Glen and Maxine Blain Taylor.

Kim attended schools in Payson. After graduating from Payson High School in 1972, where she was Homecoming Queen, she received her certificate from Bryman’s School of Medical Assisting.

She married Bill Hudson, on June 1, 1974, and their union was later sealed in the Manti Temple on March 27, 1998. Together, they built a loving home, first in Sandy, Utah, then moving to Lake Shore in 1978 and then Spanish Fork in 1989, where they raised their two children, Maria and Jonathan.

Kim dedicated her life to her family and her work. After her children were in school, she began working in the school lunch program. As her children grew, she became the front office supervisor for FHP Healthcare and later the front office manager for the regional University of Utah Health Care Clinics. She then worked in the Nebo School District’s IT Department, retiring in 2016 after 16 years of dedicated service.

After retiring, she and Bill spent time traveling to many places, both in the country and around the world. They enjoyed serving in the baptistry of the Payson Temple and loved camping in the Utah mountains with their dog, Dani. She loved doing puzzles and was a great cook, often helping her grandkids make afterschool cookies. She also loved the time she spent being a “grandma” for Mrs. Farr’s Kindergarten class. Kim’s greatest joy was her family; she was a great supporter of her grandchildren, always present to cheer them on. She was also a devoted aunt, offering love and guidance to her nieces and nephews. Her family was the most important thing to her and always her first priority. She was quick to help with anything any of them needed.

Kim is survived by her husband, Bill; children Maria (Wes) Christensen and Jonathan (Katie) Hudson; grandchildren Delaney (Austin) De Graw, Cooper Christensen, Emery Christensen, and Hazel, Violet, and Grey Hudson; great-granddaughter Dottie De Graw; her brother, Glen (Janet) Taylor; and in-laws Brent Johns, Sue Hudson, Lynette Neff, Trina Ellis, and Roger (Carol) Hudson. She was preceded in death by her parents, her sister Sarah Johns, and brothers-in-laws Tom Hudson, Ed Neff, and Ron Ellis.

The family would like to thank the wonderful EMTs and Emergency Room staff at Spanish Fork Hospital for their valiant efforts.
