Cheryl Lynn Hudson, 66, of Lexington, SC, passed away on her birthday, April 23, 2024, after a battle with a personal illness.

Cheryl was born on April 23, 1958, to the late Mr. David Nettles Sr. and Mrs. Laramie Lucky Hudson in Darlington, SC.

Her mother, Laramie Hudson, wanted a better life for her and her youngest daughter after enduring the harsh life in the cotton fields of South Carolina.

They found a great starting point in the city of New Haven, Connecticut, where better education and jobs were available.

After graduating from Lee High School in New Haven, Connecticut, with a determined mind, she went on to study Business Sciences at local colleges. After graduation with an associate's degree, she landed her first job in banking for many years. Soon after, she became a well-loved Billing Supervisor for Frontier Communications, where she later retired. 

As a Billing Supervisor, Cheryl was responsible for managing a team of billing specialists and ensuring that all billing processes were carried out accurately and efficiently. She was a superb supervisor, responsible for maintaining strong relationships with clients and resolving any billing-related issues that may arise.

In 1974, she embraced motherhood with the birth of her first child, her only son. He later became the president of a record label, a radio personality, a community leader, an author of various books, a website and graphic designer, and more.

Known internationally as Jabril Chris Muhammad, her son, Christopher Hudson, is a remarkably versatile individual with a diverse range of talents and roles, referring to himself as a "Man of Many Hats," much like his late grandfather, David Nettles Sr.

Fast-forward to 1984, Cheryl welcomed her outstanding daughter, Nicole Adams Bostic, into the world. Nicole excelled academically, graduating with top honors and obtaining both a Bachelor's and a Master's degree. She has devoted herself to the field of social services, making positive contributions to her community. 

Nicole has truly become a giant mind, a force all by herself, but whenever she unites with her brother, they are an unstoppable movement that will never be denied.

After Cheryl welcomed Christopher into her life, she made a commitment to being an outstanding and loving mother. Later, with Nicole's arrival, Cheryl once again devoted herself to uplifting her family members and providing unwavering support through their various challenges and pursuits.

One day, Cheryl boldly stated, “I have two children but one coin”.  Did you know a coin's quality, rarity, and demand determine its value? In her one coin, many of you will soon learn more about their quality, rarity, and demand that will speak for Cheryl forever.

Whether that was supporting her family through difficulty or supporting her community through passion, she made it her mission to improve the lives of others.

Cheryl was extremely passionate about creating home crafts and designs, and when she wasn’t filling her home with warmth and kindness, she could be found in her home practicing creating home decorations and learning do-it-yourself tips from various sources.

We will miss her greatly. Cheryl was predeceased by her father David Nettles Sr., her mother Laramie Lucky Hudson, brothers Alfonzo, Wendell, Leslie, sisters Edna, Laralee, Ola Mae, and Ernestine.

Survived by her daughter, Nicole Adams Bostic (married to David) and their daughters, Jaala and Jazmin (grand-dog Gizmo), along with her son, Christopher Hudson Sr. (married to Taita) and their children: Tajon, Taijah, Chris Jr., Leslie (married to Garfield), Nevin, Mantrell (married to Curlisha), with a total of 16 grandchildren.

Ann Hudson, Jan Walker, James Hudson (his wife), Larry Boomer (his wife) Ms. Jennifer Wright & sister Gwendolyn Wright Lambert (husband Carl) and a host of nieces and nephews from New Haven, Connecticut and surrounding areas.
