Carol Lynn Hudson, 42, of Millsboro passed away Saturday, Dec. 4, 2021, from complications of COVID.
She was born Feb. 25, 1979, in Salisbury, Md., to David Jones Sr. and Peggy Klaverweiden, who survive her.
Carol was a former bus driver for Dutton Busing until she retired to help with the care of her mother-in-law. She was a member of the Journey, A Wesleyan Church in Millsboro, where she was a former youth director and was active in Vacation Bible School and Trunk or Treat sponsored by the Journey. She was a graduate of Delmar High School Class of 1997 and held an associate degree in Christian theology.
She enjoyed baking, and would make wedding cakes and cupcakes for different events. She also enjoyed attending the Denton Wesleyan Camp every summer and working in the snack shop. Carol loved all children and her dog Arctic. She was a wonderful wife and mother, and will be dearly missed.
In addition to her parents, she is survived by her husband of 24 years, Eugene A. Hudson; two daughters, Lillian Paige Hudson and Megan Rilla Hudson, all of Millsboro. Carol also has five siblings surviving: Lorrie Sonnier (Patrick) of Salisbury, Beth Tull (Scott) of Easton, Md., Angela Payne (Robert) of Nanticoke, Md., David Jones Jr. of Nanticoke, and Joshua Nichols (Heather Booth) of Hebron, Md. She also leaves behind nieces, nephews, extended family and friends.
A memorial service will be held at 1 p.m., Saturday, Dec. 11, at the Journey, A Wesleyan Church, 255 Wilson Hwy., Millsboro, where friends may call from 12 to 1 p.m. for visitation. Interment will be private. The Rev. Martin Furrow will officiate.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations to help offset final expenses. If you can help, please contact Eugene.

Carmine said the land will be used for an array of Nanticoke activities, including hiking, lacrosse games and its annual powwow celebration.
“We renew and refresh our spirits,’’ Carmine said of the powwow, which has been held on leased lands. “We remember our ancestors. We share our culture and customs with the public, and we have tribal communities that come together with us.”
The Nanticoke tribe’s annual powwow is a celebration of its culture and customs. (Nanticoke Indian tribe)
An official at The Conservation Fund said the bulk of the money for the deals came from Mt. Cuba Center. Known for its botanical gardens on a former du Pont family estate a few miles from President Biden’s home, the nonprofit also focuses on land conservation.
Downing said the properties “were two parcels that were of great cultural and historic significance to our Delaware tribes.”
Restoring the lands to the tribes “just seemed like such a great way to give back to the community,’’ Downing said. “Part of our mission is conserving or fostering biodiversity because it enhances resilience. So it just seemed like helping to support Native American communities was one way that we could help support the diversity of our community.”
Dennis “White Otter” Coker, the principal chief of the Lenape tribe, recently told The Washington Post they might turn part of the 11 acres into an “edible forest garden” that would include berry-producing plants, along with shad and spice bushes that were once used by Native Americans and are native to the area.
Luzerne County’s five-citizen Redevelopment Authority board will be at the center of earmarking a major pot of funding for large-scale public infrastructure projects.
This windfall — a total $75 million over 25 years — is coming from the gambling-funded Local Share Account.
It will create a new Luzerne County Public Infrastructure Program that may end up providing some of the funds needed to address two deteriorated county-owned bridges over the Susquehanna River: the Nanticoke/West Nanticoke Bridge connecting Nanticoke and Plymouth Township and the Firefighters’ Memorial Bridge on Water Street linking Pittston and West Pittston, officials say.
The fund’s creation is occurring because the entire county legislative delegation supported new state legislation (Act 24 of 2021) that carves out $3 million from the average $11 million to $12 million Local Share Account earmarked in the county annually, said state Sen. John Yudichak, I-Swoyersville, who pushed for the change.

That will still leave approximately $9 million that can be given out for a range of community purposes annually, such as the purchase of municipal equipment and vehicles, officials say. While the county’s Local Share Account has addressed many pressing public needs, some have criticized its failure to address more big-ticket regional projects.
Under the new program, the Redevelopment Authority is set to receive the $3 million annually for 25 years so the money can be used to repay funds it borrows to pay for current major capital projects, officials say.
Borrowing of more than $50 million is envisioned, although the final package will depend on borrowing costs and other factors, according to officials and documents.
“It’s creating a whole new infrastructure program. There’s nothing like it anywhere in the state,” Yudichak said.
Applications for public infrastructure projects will be submitted to…
U.S. Army Sgt. James Stryker, 20, was killed near Han’gye, South Korea, in 1951. His remains were accounted for on Aug. 5, 2020. His family was recently informed.
WEST NANTICOKE, Pa. — A Pennsylvania man who was killed during the Korean War in 1951 was positively accounted for last year, the Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency (DPAA) announced this month.
While the remains of U.S. Army Sgt. James N. Stryker, of West Nanticoke, Luzerne County, were accounted for on Aug. 5, 2020, his family recently received a full briefing on the identification process, the DPAA said.
In May 1951, Stryker was a member of Company L, 3rd Battalion, 23rd Infantry Regiment, 2nd Infantry Division. He was reported missing in action on May 18, when the enemy attacked his unit near Han’gye, South Korea.
Stryker’s remains could not be immediately recovered, but he was not officially declared dead until after the Armistice was signed July 27, 1953.
During a search of Korean War battlefields later in May 1951, an unknown set of remains was recovered from the area where Stryker went missing, according to the DPAA. After a preliminary examination at Tanggok United Nations Military Cemetery, an identification could not be made and the remains were buried as Unknown X-1373 Tanggok.
Further attempts were made to identify X-1373, but were unsuccessful, the DPAA said.
The remains were later transported with all of the unidentified Korean War remains and buried as Unknowns at the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific, also known as the Punchbowl, in Honolulu, Hawaii.
In May 2017, the family of an unresolved soldier associated with the same area where Stryker went missing requested X-1373 be disinterred for comparison with their Soldier, the DPAA said.
Further research by a DPAA historian and forensic anthropologist determined X-1373 and the soldier were…

William “Bill” Harrison Daisey Sr., 90, of Dover, passed away Thursday, Nov. 25, 2021. Bill was best known as a three-term Dover city council member, vice principal at W.T. Chipman Middle School in Harrington, and former chief of the Nanticoke Indian Tribe.
Born Oct. 20, 1931, in Lewes, during the Great Depression, he grew up in the Lewes/Millsboro areas near Indian Mission Church. Bill was the son of the late Pearl “Florine” Daisey, who married Elmer R. Street, formerly of Harbeson, on July 18, 1939.
On July 26, 2014, Bill was preceded in death by his wife of 63 years, Shirley Corinne (Street), daughter of the late Clarence Albert Street and the late Martha Ann Street, formerly of Millsboro. Bill and Shirley were married March 25, 1951.
Bill began his formal education at Lewes Elementary School, the Hollyville School (Millsboro), and the Richard Allen School (Georgetown), but due to segregation laws, he could only obtain his high school degree by moving 90 miles away (staying with his grandmother) and attending Howard High School in Wilmington to complete his senior year. Appreciating the value of education and a trade, he would become a qualified journeyman in over eight different trades and would later earn, while working full time, his bachelor’s degree in mathematics from Delaware State College and his master’s degree in administration from Glassboro State College (now Rowan University) in New Jersey.
He held several jobs as he worked to obtain his degrees, including auto engine mechanic, auto body/fender repairman, body shop foreman, aircraft painter, industrial painter, aircraft jet engine mechanic and engineering technician. His career in education began in adult education/training in New Jersey. In 1978, he accepted the position of vice principal at W.T. Chipman Middle School, later becoming transportation supervisor for the Lake Forest school district. Bill…
