Kristi R. Hudson, 55

Kristi R. Hudson, 55, of Gilmanton, passed away peacefully on July 15, 2026, at Concord Hospital, following a courageous, 11-year journey with metastatic breast cancer.

Born in Newport, Vermont, on Oct. 13, 1970, Kristi was the beloved daughter of Raymond and Christina (Darby) Routhier.

Kristi dedicated her career to caring for others as a radiologic technologist at the Orthopedic Professional Association in Gilford, and Concord Hospital-Laconia. She was known for her compassion, kindness, and commitment to her patients and coworkers.

Above all else, Kristi cherished her family. Affectionately known as “Nana” by her beloved grandchildren, she treasured every moment spent with them. She found joy in cooking, baking, gardening, and walking along the beach. Kristi had a generous heart and a deep love for her family, friends, and community.

She will be remembered as a devoted wife, loving mother, proud Nana, cherished daughter, caring sister, and loyal friend whose warmth and strength touched the lives of so many.

Kristi is survived by her loving husband, Daniel Hudson of Gilmanton; her son, Nathan Hudson of Gilmanton; her daughter, Emily Underwood and her husband Jake of Gilmanton; her cherished grandchildren, Eli and Avarie Underwood; her parents, Raymond and Christina “Tina” Routhier of Derby Line, Vermont; and her sister, Amy Stimets and her husband Jon of Tampa, Florida.

A memorial service celebrating Kristi’s life will be held at the Gilford Community Church, 19 Potter Hill Road, Gilford, at 11 a.m., on Wednesday, July 22, with reception to follow. The family encourages attendees to dress casually and colorfully per Kristi’s wishes.
