Obituary of Margaret Ann Hudock

STOW - Margaret Ann Hudock, (nee Lazanich), age 87, of Stow, Ohio, left her earthly life early Sunday morning, December 5, 2021, to begin her eternal life with the Lord. She spent her last few months in Vitalia Senior Residences at Stow. She was born on June 4, 1934, in Fayette County, PA, and grew up in Uniontown, PA and also lived in Erie, PA, Elyria, OH, Stow, OH, Haines City, FL, Cuyahoga Falls, OH, and back to Stow, OH. Marge was preceded in death by Tom, her husband of 57 years; her parents, Peter and Pauline Lazanich; brothers, John (Blanche) Lazanich, Nick Lazanich, George (Grace) Lazanich, Mike (Flo) Lazanich, and sisters, Helen (Walter) Trawka, and Doris Cato. She is survived by her brother, Pete (Pat) Lazanich; sons, Tom (Diana) Hudock, and Steve Hudock; grandchildren by Tom (Diana), Mike (Laura) Hudock, and Mary Hudock (Jon Hupcej), and many cousins, nieces, and nephews. After getting married and moving to Ohio, Marge worked at The First National Bank of Elyria before landing a job with the phone company. Marge had a long career with Mid-Continent and ALLTEL Corporation where she worked in Elyria, OH at The Elyria Telephone Company from 1969 to 1980 and in Hudson, OH at The Western Reserve Telephone Company from 1980 to 1993. Some co-workers from the phone company knew her as a customer service rep and supervisor and sales consultant in Elyria and as the Business Office Manager in Hudson where she became known as “Marge-In-Charge.” A few of you knew her as a close dear friend. Many of you knew she loved being part of the telephone company golf leagues. Wherever ending up, she always wanted others around her to succeed. She always felt she was treated very well and wanted to treat others the same way. After retiring from the phone company, Marge and Tom enjoyed living in Florida for twenty years before Tom’s passing. She enjoyed golfing, playing bingo, and even calling bingo at the clubhouse in their retirement community in Haines City, FL. She stayed busy with crafts and sewing until her later years. After beating lung cancer in 2010 and staying cancer-free for many years, she began to suffer from the early stages of dementia. After Tom passed away, she moved from Florida back to Ohio in Cuyahoga Falls, OH, then recently a short-lived residence in assisted living in Stow, OH before succumbing to bladder cancer and dementia which continued to progress quickly while under palliative and hospice care at the same facility. The family is very grateful and would like to express a special thank you to all staff and nursing teams at Vitalia Senior Residences at Stow and the palliative and hospice care nursing teams from Traditions Health for their comfort and care during her short, four-month residence in assisted living. Arrangements are being coordinated by Redmon Funeral Home in Stow, OH. Cremation will take place. Calling hours will be at St. Eugene Catholic Parish, 1821 Munroe Falls Avenue, Cuyahoga Falls, OH 44221 on Friday, December 10, 2021, at 10:00 AM followed immediately by the Funeral Mass, also at St. Eugene Catholic Parish on Friday, December 10, 2021, at 11:00 AM. Interment will be held on a later date at Ohio Western Reserve National Cemetery in Rittman, OH next to her husband.
