Adolphus Hadley Obituary

Mr. Adolphus Lee Hadley, a devoted husband, father, and granddaddy, brother, uncle, and friend, was born in Athens, Mississippi, to his loving parents, George Sr. and Lugenia Howell Hadley. He attended Athens County School District.

October 12, 2025 at the North Mississippi Medical Center in Tupelo, Mississippi, he transitioned from this Earthly life to his Eternal life.

At an early age in life, he accepted Christ as his personal savior at Chapel Grove Holiness Church under the leadership of Bishop G.T. Howell, later joining Holy Temple under the leadership of Rev. George Hadley, Jr., and then joining the membership at One Nation Church of Living God under the leadership of Bishop Leonard Howell. This is where he remained until God wanted him back.

Adolphus Lee Hadley was a devoted servant who loved the Lord with his whole heart and shared his love in many capacities. To name a few, he enjoyed quartet singing, where he sang with the True Light Quartet, Power Lord, and Traveling Shoe. Another of his enjoyments was dressing in his suits and Stacy Adam shoes and creasing his jeans to the tee. A retired employee M.T. D. Air Cap where he labored for many years.
