On December 8, 2025, Juliane “Ann” Elisabeth Hudson (née Carter), age 65, died peacefully in Burlington, Vermont, with her husband George Hudson at her side. Her departure has left family and friends reflecting on a life defined by devotion, creativity, and compassion.
Ann was born on May 28, 1960, in Randolph, Vermont, the fourth of five daughters named Juliane Carter. Her childhood blended academic promise with family warmth. Her father, Marvin Stanley Carter, graduated as valedictorian from Vermont Technical College shortly after her birth, establishing a legacy of achievement that Ann proudly carried forward.
She graduated from Mount Mansfield Union High School before pursuing electrical engineering at Vermont Technical College, following her father’s path. While studying, she worked at Big Burger in South Burlington and Lum’s, demonstrating independence and determination. Her education reflected both technical skill and resilience, qualities that shaped her thoughtful approach to challenges.
Ann applied her engineering background in a supportive role at the University of Vermont, where she worked in administrative support for more than 20 years. Colleagues admired her organizational precision and empathetic guidance, often turning to her for insight on complex projects. Her career balanced professional excellence with flexibility for family, embodying her belief in harmony between work and home.
Her marriage to George Hudson, whom she met during college, spanned 43 years. They wed in Québec City in 1982 after George transferred from RIT to UVM. Together they welcomed daughter Juliane Patricia Jouanicot (née Hudson) in 1985 following a miscarriage, and later Katelyn. As a mother, Ann nurtured her family through traditions such as holiday knitting sessions that strengthened bonds across generations.
She is survived by her mother Juliane Carter, brothers Thomas (wife Karen) and M. Stanley (wife Anne), and grandchildren. She was predeceased by her father Marvin S. Carter Jr. Known for her compassion, Ann offered quiet strength during hardships, filling her homes in Jericho and later Burlington with love and shared stories.
Ann’s hobbies reflected her generous spirit. She knitted scarves and blankets as heartfelt gifts, volunteered at local craft fairs, and enjoyed Vermont’s seasons through walks in the Champlain Valley. Her creativity and kindness fostered deep connections within the Burlington community.
