Jenny Rebecca Foreman Hudson, November 8, 1970 – October 17, 2021
Born November 8, 1970 in Buffalo, NY to Robert G. and Beth Foreman. Jenny was a 1998 graduate of Port Byron Central School. She made North Carolina home for the last 20 years. As a fierce advocate for those in need, she was especially passionate about her time working at Rowan Helping Ministries.
She is survived by sons David and Elijah, siblings Christopher (Amy) and Marisa (Anel), and beloved niece and nephews Jake, Marisol, Andres, and Nicholas, as well as a large and loving family of aunts, uncles, and cousins and friends. She loved the Wise Wonderful Women and Piedmont Unitarian Universalist Church of Charlotte and Salisbury. Jenny’s message to the world is to “spread your rainbow of love”.

Jenny had a way of making you feel special. She could put a smile on the face of a small child in tears, and make an elderly person feel young again. She had loving arms which gave the best hugs ever! I feel blessed to have known her and she remains forever in my heart. My sincere condolences to Beth an Bob, David and Elijah, and her whole family.

She had a wonderful laugh and beautiful smile. Jenny loved to give and receive a big and long hug and share her love. Yes, a special person full of compassion and love that we are going to miss but she has left that love with us for always.
Bob and Linda Voelker says
I remember Jenny for her wonderful smile and great hugs! When we were with her, she didn’t complain but always asked about us. Such a loving lady with a positive spirit! We miss her!
May the beloved community be available to Beth, Bob, Elijah and David for support and listening hearts.
Pam Bloom says
Jenny had the ability to embrace the best of each moment life provided. Sometimes that’s a concept difficult to fully embrace. Perhaps this is why Jenny could pull out her genuine smile during difficult circumstances. She found joy in the imperfections of living a life. I am grateful to have known Jenny.
Merry Overholser says
To know Jenny, was to love her; it couldn’t be helped. Regardless of her situation, she always looked straight in your eyes to ask how you and your beloveds were doing. I can’t remember a time when she couldn’t find a reason to smile or laugh. What strength she possessed and a bright light she readily shared. She was a rainbow of love.
Diane Labovitz says
My condolences to Jenny’s family. Though Jenny is no longer with us, her light continues to shine in the lives of those who were fortunate enough to have shared her journey. Whatever challenges Jenny faced, she did so with strength and courage and never stopped reaching out to comfort others in their time of need.
Joanne Tarbell says
Reaching out to you, Beth and Bob, and to all of your family, with love and hugs. May Jenny rest in peace.

Jenny, I can’t believe you’re gone in body. Your spirit is with us still, in multitudes of ways. Your hugs were the very best. Your ability to be authentic and present was just one of the reasons you were such a great friend. Your presence was indeed a gift to us all- we are forever changed by knowing you.

Phil and Marcia says
What a beautiful picture of Jenny ! It’s hard to believe that she’s no longer present in this world but I pray she’s found contentment and peace. Our thoughts are with you, Bob and Beth and Chris and Marisa. There are many fond memories of Jenny here in Conquest and Port Byron. Many church suppers where she was so welcoming to the frequently returning patrons of our Roast Beef Dinners. She greeted everyone with a smile and kept the dishes filled with food. Thanks for your message to wear masks and seek out vaccination opportunities.
