Ernest Hadley Obituary
In 1937 he came to Washington bringing his mother and eight of his siblings to join his father and two brothers.
One of his greatest pleasures was ushering at the Ellensburg Rodeo which he did for a great many years. He became a member of the IOOF lodge and he and his wife were also members of the Good Sam's Club and enjoyed their outings. Ernie spent many relaxing hours' playing cards with the friends he met throughout the years.
He was preceded in death by his wife Helen (Nell) Hadley, 3 sisters and two brothers.
Survivors include his daughter Donna Duncan of Ellensburg; stepdaughter Ruth Anne Epperson of Tracy CA; stepson Don Fuller of Ellensburg; 6 grandchildren; 7 great grandchildren and 1 great great granddaughter. He is also survived by 3 sisters; Irene Hadley Miller of The Dalles, OR, Lois Hadley Sims of Modesto, CA, Joyce Hadley Frederickson of Ellensburg and 2 brothers; Howard Hadley of Yakima, WA and Gerald (Jerry) Hadley of Kennewick, WA.
A gathering to remember Ernest will be held at Presbyterian Church Saturday, February 19th at 1 to 3 PM.

I was lucky enough to have rented a home from Mr. and Mrs. Hadley on 4th St. Mr. Hadley was always so nice and I enjoyed my time in thier home and remember him fondly. Rest in peace Ernie, my prayers are with your family.

I cherish the family gatherings I had with my grandfather. You could always find him at the center of things cooking in the kitchen. A family favorite was the Thanksgiving Scottish "Clootie" Dumpling with lemon sauce which was passed down from my great grandmother, Nanny. Grandpa was a great giant of a bear, alittle rough around the edges but with a gentle spirit and good heart. He will be missed.
