JAMES DORAN KUDER, Mesquite, Texas

James Doran Kuder, 78, of Mesquite, Texas, went home to be with the Lord on Friday, June 25, 2010.

James was born Oct.15, 1931, to George and Birdie (Newman) Kuder in Des Moines, Iowa. He was raised in and around Corydon, Iowa, and later met his wife, Mary Ann Cochran. They were married for 47 years. James and Mary Ann were residents of the Macksburg area from 1977 to 1993 before moving to Mesquite.

James worked the past 10 years for Mesquite Independent School District at Mesquite High School as a full-time security guard. He thoroughly enjoyed being around his fellow employees, friends and family, but most of all, the students.

He is survived by his wife, Mary Ann; two daughters, Crista Younker and Ronda Kuder; five sons from a previous marriage — James Kuder, John Kuder, Joseph Kuder, Brian Kuder and Steven Kuder; 11 grandchildren; three great-grandchildren; two sisters, Judi Wright and Jean Essex; and three brothers, Don Kuder, Bill Kuder and Kenneth Kuder.

James was preceded in death by his parents and two sisters, Nancy Kuder and Jane Kuder.

A memorial service will be held at 2 p.m. Saturday, July 24, at Bright Star Baptist Church in Alba, Texas. Memorials may be directed to the family for a later designation. Arrangements were handled by Ingram Funeral Home, P.O. Box 2218, Quinlan, Texas 75474.
