Marilyn Townsend Hudgins, age 84, of Gloucester Point, passed away surrounded by her family and friends at her home on Monday, Aug. 3, 2020. In 2001, Marilyn retired from VIMS, Gloucester Point, where she worked in Accounts Payable. She loved to travel with her family, especially taking cruise vacations with her family and cruising buddy, Gail Reardon. She always had a sense of adventure, and went parasailing at the age of 80. Outside of vacationing, she will be remembered as an excellent cook, and her family will miss her Sunday pot roast.

She was preceded in death by her husband, James Leslie Hudgins, and her mother, Julia Townsend. Survivors include her daughter, Cindy Hornsby (Robert); two grandchildren, Robert Hornsby Jr. (Samantha), Morgan H. Mireles (Alberto); three great-grandchildren, Miranda, Dominic and James.
