In addition to his second wife, Hudson was survived by three daughters and a son-in-law, Nancy and Joe Ed Ketner, Courtney Morley Hudson, and grandsons Max, Alex and Nicholas Hudson, all of Shreveport, and Lucy North Hudson of Pineville; stepchildren, Robert Franks, Jr., and his wife, Vicki, of Shreveport, Susan F. Leake and her husband, Rucker, of St. Francisville in West Feliciana Parish, and Allen C. Franks and his wife, Cathy, of Mena, Arkansas, and their children and grandchildren.
Memorial services were held at the First Presbyterian Church of Shreveport, where Hudson was an active member. He was cremated.
