Marty Jayne Hudgens
 
Marty Jayne Hudgens, 41, Ontario, a homemaker, died Nov. 28, 1990, at home, as 
a result of her 12-year battle with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, also known 
as Lou Gehrig's disease.  Services were 2 p.m. Dec. 1 at the Malheur Butte 
Baptist Church, Ontario, with Pastor Bruce Penn officiated.  Burial followed 
at Rosedale Memorial Gardens, Payette, under the direction of Ontario's 
Lienkaemper Chapel.
 
She was born Jan. 13, 1949, at Ontario, a daughter of Martin J. and Donna L. 
Winslow Sayers.  She attended Cairo Elementary and Ontario schools, graduating 
from Ontario High School in 1967, and married Henry Hudgens of Caldwell, 
during her senior year of school.  They made their first home in Caldwell, 
where he graduated from the College of Idaho in 1970.  She then was a 
teacher's wife and mother of two sons, Gary Scott and Roger Martin, in 
Arlington, and Aberdeen, Wash.  She attended Grey's Harbor Community College 
in Aberdeen and graduated with high honors in 1974.  The family moved back to 
the Treasure Valley, where Henry has been employed by Payette High School for 
the past 16 years.  She was diagnosed with a fatal neuro muscular disease, 
A.L.S. in 1979, but still managed to give birth to her third son, Greg Henry, 
after becoming incapacitated.  She was a member of the Malheur Butte Baptist 
Church and remained active within her church family as a purchaser of literary 
materials for the church library.  She was an inspiration for all who 
witnessed her struggle to raise her family, be a wife, and meet everyone with 
a smile and a twinkle in her eye.  She corresponded with others who had the 
same disease as she had, giving comfort and advice.
 
Survivors include her husband, Henry of Ontario; three sons, Gary Hudgens of 
Siloan Springs, Ark., Roger Hudgens of Caldwell, and Greg Hudgens of Ontario; 
her parents, Martin and Donna Sayers of Ontario; her paternal grandmother, 
Lecia Sayers of Nyssa; three sisters, Mary Lynn Twombly of Ontario, JoNell 
Sheppard of Payette, and Dava Lee Chamberlain of Bonneville Park, Wash.; a 
brother, Jim Sayers of Baker City; a special aunt, Clarice Ross of Ontario; 
five nieces, and four nephews.
 
Memorials may be made to the A.L,S. Association of American or the Malheur 
Butte Baptist Church Library, in care of Lienkaemper Chapel, P.O. Box 970, 
Ontario 97914.
