Mehl Willis Hudnall Sr. “Cub”, 80, was born October 30, 1940 in Catahoula Parish Louisiana and passed away Monday, March 1, 2021 at his home. Cub, a quiet man with a dry since of humor was loved by his family and friends. He took much pride in his residential building/contractor business. He was known as “The Best House Builder” in all Catahoula and Concordia Parish as well as in Natchez, Mississippi. He never had to advertise to obtain a new contract, for word of mouth and his impeccable reputation gave him more business that he could do. Cub made his confession of faith at Tensas Baptist Church as a young husband and father. In 1973 he and his family moved to Catahoula parish to build their home near his birthplace on Tew Lake Road. That is where he and his wife Norma hosted many holiday, birthday and just fun summer day gatherings for their family and friends. All who were fortunate enough to attend those gatherings will forever cherish those fun memories. Cub’s earthly legacy will continue and he will be greatly missed by his family and all that knew him.
He was preceded in death by his wife, Norma Butts Hudnall; mother, Dellar Harris Hudnall; father, Clyde Hudnall; one brother, Edward Hudnall; and one sister, Dorothy Hudnall.
