Barbara Jane Hudman Green, 73, of Timpson, Texas, passed away on August 26, 2025.

She was born on October 5, 1951, to John Noble Hudman and Bernice Adkinson Hudman. Barbara grew up with her siblings, Johnnie Nix, Judy Ritter, Jeff Hudman, and Chris Hudman.

On February 20, 1970, Barbara married Jack Michael “Mike” Green. Their marriage lasted just short of 55 years, ending only with Mike’s passing in January 2025. Together they built a life defined by hard work, devotion, and family. Barbara and Mike owned and operated several businesses over the years, working side by side and supporting one another through every season. Their partnership was marked by perseverance and love, and their family is a reflection of the life they shared.

Craig Green, and wife, Gracie of Tenaha

Kyle Green, and wife, Amanda of Krum

Seven great-grandchildren; and numerous nieces, nephews, and extended family.

Barbara worked for many years as a hairdresser in Timpson, Tenaha, and Center, where she built lasting connections with her clients and community. She was a member of Woodland Christian Church and faithfully served on the praise team for many years, sharing her beautiful soprano voice in worship.

She was preceded in death by her husband, Mike Green; her parents; and grandchildren Jake, Brayden, and Logan.

Barbara enjoyed spending time outdoors mowing, caring for her beloved pugs, tending to her cows, crafting, and being with her family. She loved all her children but especially loved and held extremely dear all her great grandchildren. And as of this year, we are extremely proud and grateful that we have a new member to our family in Tiffany Chirstopher, her Husband Jeremy, and their beautiful baby boy, Jeremiah. She especially loved singing alongside her husband and children, creating memories through music that her family will always cherish.
