Jeannie Tatterson

February 28, 1948 — December 23, 2016

Jeannie Hudgins Tatterson, beloved mother, grandmother, sister, aunt and friend passed away on December 23, 2016. A Mathews County native, she attended Ferrum College and the University of Georgia.

Born February 28, 1948, Jeannie was the daughter of the late Raymond Shirley Hudgins and the late Virginia Boyd Hudgins of New Point.

The heart and soul behind Tatterson Greenhouses, Jeannie was the first to roll up her sleeves, day in and day out, to grow her grand vision in reality. She worked hard, played hard and helped so many grow roots and thrive. Jeannie loved working with Kathryn in the greenhouses and even more, spending time with her grandson, Ray. Jeannie loved life and left it too soon. She leaves a legacy of joy, hard work and love.
