Dianne M. Hudson
June 13, 1947 - February 12, 2026
Dianne M. Hudson, 78, of Hollywood, Florida, passed away peacefully, surrounded by her family, on the morning of February 12, 2026. She was born in Suffern, New York, to Eugene and Cora (Jones) Flannigan.
Dianne was a devoted homemaker and served as the school lunchroom cook at Nativity Catholic School for over 30 years, where she touched countless lives with her kind, gentle smile and loving demeanor. Dianne was a woman of many talents — an artist, baker, and cook. But perhaps her greatest gift was making everyone she encountered feel special, loved, and important. She had a way of putting people at ease and making them feel as though they had known her for years.
She is survived by her son, Richard (Gina); daughters, Kimberly (Chris) Finley and Christine (Jason) Becher; sisters, Jean Marie Dallago, Nancy (Bill) Weber, Beverly (Merle) Mammato, and Peggy (Marc) Cabillis; brother, Patrick (Suzanne) Flannigan; her grandchildren, Holly, Hannah, and Benjamin; and many loving nieces and nephews.
The family will receive friends at Landmark Funeral Home, 4200 Hollywood Blvd., Hollywood, Florida, from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. on Thursday, February 19, 2026. A Funeral Mass of the Resurrection will be celebrated at 11:00 a.m. on Friday, February 20, 2026, at Nativity Catholic Church, 5220 Johnson St., Hollywood, Florida. Interment will take place at a later date at Assumption Cemetery in Westport, Connecticut.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Dianne’s memory to the Firefighter Cancer Initiative Fund
