LEWES - Edna Mitchell Hudson passed away on Sept. 16, 2016 at the Delaware Hospice Center. Edna was born in Lewes and lived here all her life. She was one of 9 children and her father delivered her at home because the snow was level with the horses belly and the doctor could not get there. She worked at the Hosiery Mill in Lewes, seaming nylons and also at the Bay View Inn on Lewes Beach in the late 40's. She worked as a waitress at the Debraak Restaurant, also on Lewes beach. She is survived by her husband of 66 years, William A. Hudson; her daughter, Catherine 'Kitty' Elliott and her husband Jerry; a grandson, Steve and his companion Marie; great-grandchildren, Kaya, Teague and Bryn; sisters, Bessie Walker, Beatrice Simms; brother, Alfred Mitchell; and many nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her father, Henry Mitchell; and her mother, Marion Catherine Ash Mitchell; brothers, Pete and George Mitchell; sisters, Gertrude Kolbe and Ethel Holton. A special thank you to her sister, Bessie, who was her primary care giver, and to the Delaware Hospice Center, who were wonderful to Edna.
