The Life & Love of Alycia Rosetta Hudson

Alycia Rosetta Hudson peacefully went to her new home on October 25^th, 2024. Alycia Rosetta Flowers was born to the loving union of George Flowers Sr. and Dora Elizabeth Flowers on October 23^rd,1954. As the only daughter among three brothers, she ruled the house. Alicia grew up in the Glenville area of Cleveland and attended the local Cleveland public schools. She graduated from Jane Addams High School in 1972.  Alycia attended and was a participant in the New Community Bible Fellowship Church of Cleveland, OH led by Pastor Kevin James. 

Alycia is remembered in her youth as a woman who loved fashion and could be seen in different gorgeous outfits as she displayed her youthful beauty and exuberance for life. She learned the art of being a seamstress from her Grandmother, Mother, and her aunt Mildred O’Neal. Her personality was one of joy, love and adventure.  At one point, along with two of her female cousins, she tried to form a singing group. As an adult, she became a wise problem solver for members of her family.

She married Larry Hatten in 1979 and to this union was born Nicole Marie Hatten in 1981.

Alycia held various positions in the Cleveland area and worked at Key Bank. She eventually moved to Fairborn, Ohio in 2001 where she worked for Central State University as the Administrative Assistant to  the Universities Chief of Police.   It was here that she met Retired Air Force Colonel Joseph Michael Hudson. Alycia and Joseph married in 2008.

Alycia leaves behind a legacy of love, cherished memories, laughter and joy. Although she is no longer with us physically, her spirit lives on in the lives of those who knew her with memories that will last forever. She joins the following in her new home: her husband Colonel Joseph Michael Hudson, parents George Flowers Sr. and Dora Elizabeth Flowers, and her brother George “Clay” Flowers Jr. She leaves her daughter Nicole Hatten, granddaughter Nayla Elizabeth Rosado, brothers Brian and Kevin Flowers, several nieces and nephews, and a host of cousins spread across the United States calling themselves Rosetta’s kids to grieve her passing.

The Hatten, Flower, Hicks, Chatman, and Mann families thank you for your love and support during this time.
