Eugene Vernell "Noodie" Dudley

Eugene Vernell Dudley received his heavenly wings and transitioned from labor to reward on  December 1, 2022 at Mary Washington Hospital.  

“Noodie” as he was affectionately called by family and friends was born on September 13,1937  to Eleanor Dudley. Eugene received his education from Westmoreland County Public Schools  Eugene was employed by Perry Tate for numerous years until his health began to fail.  

Eugene was an avid sports fan with his favorite sport being baseball. “Noodie” was such a  jokester, he always had a very quirky story to tell. He had a way of “opening” up a room with a laugh or two. Even in the face of adversity he found laughter in the smallest corners. He had a  heart of gold and would give you his last dime. His presence here on earth will be greatly missed.
