On Sunday, December 10th, 2023, Delmer Wallace Hudson, at age

92, passed away peacefully at his home, and entered eternity with his Lord.

Wallace was born on June 27th, 1931, in Mannford, Oklahoma, to

Delmer and Lottie Hudson. He spent the first few years of his life on

the small family farm with his parents and older brother Kenneth. As a

result of the Great Dust bowl of the 30's, the family migrated from

Oklahoma to California where he grew into adulthood. Wallace served

his country with honor during the Korean War in the U.S Navy. At the

conclusion of his service, he married Edith Bowman and began a

career in farming in McFarland, California. Wallace and Edith called

their beloved family farm home all their married life. They raised three

children, Neal, Dana, and Craig. Wallace's wife Edith precedes him in

death. They were married 66 years.

Wallace was a faithful Christian man providing a safe, loving,

Christ centered home for his family. He was very generous with his time and

talents, taking great joy in helping others. His laugh was contagious

and people would always make a soft spot for him in their hearts, as

he made himself known to them. Wallace loved to go fishing once a

year after cotton harvest with his brother Kenneth, best friend John

Saunders, and others. That tradition carried on for over 30 years.

Wallace was a talented singer and found great joy in singing during

his school years. Later in life, he sang in his church choir for many

years, while his wife Edith played either the piano or organ. Another

passion of Wallace's was the growing of crops on his farm. Seeing

crops grow and mature to harvest was very fulfilling to him, even in the

frequent lean years. He said he never wanted to do anything else than farm.

Wallace was preceded in death by his father Delmer, his mother

Lottie, and his older brother Kenneth. He has now been reunited

with them in Heaven.

Wallace is survived by his eldest son Neal Hudson and wife Cheri of

Wasco, CA, daughter Dana Snell and husband David of Wichita, KS,

and his youngest son Craig Hudson and wife Mary Laura of Mobile,

AL. His loving grandchildren include Landon Snell and wife Chrystin of

Wichita, KS, Cameron Snell and wife Brandi of Wichita KS, Cara

Hudson of McPherson, KS, and daughter-in-law TauLyn Thomas of

Andale, KS. Wallace had two great–grand children,

Hudson Snell, and James Thomas, both of Andale KS.

A graveside memorial will be held at Delano Cemetery on Saturday,

January 6th, 2023, at 9:00am. Anyone who knew Wallace, and wishes

to pay their respects to the family, is invited.

A very special mention must be made to Hoffman Hospice, and nurse

Greg. They were a huge blessing to the family, and provided Wallace

with loving care, dignity, and respect.

In lieu of flowers, we invite you make a donation to Hoffman Hospice,

Bakersfield.
