Robert Hackley Obituary
Robert Paul Hackley, beloved husband, father, and grandfather passed away peacefully Monday morning, December 16, 2024.
Bob was born May 12, 1938 in Woodsfield, Ohio, to Robert Sr. and Dorothy Dillon Hackley. He graduated from Canton McKinley High School in 1956 and Mount Union College in 1960.
While at Mount Union, Bob was a member of the M Club, playing basketball and baseball, Phi Kappa Tau Fraternity and Blue Key Senior Honorary.
He married his college sweetheart, Judy Shaw, in 1960 after graduation. (Bob told her he wasn’t leaving without her!) Together they raised three children and happily celebrated 64 years of marriage.
After graduating from Ohio Northern University College of Pharmacy in 1963, Bob worked at various local pharmacies until opening Hackley Pharmacy in Struthers, a community he loved. He worked there until his retirement. Bob was a longtime member of Poland Presbyterian Church where he had served as Deacon.
Bob loved spending time with his family, here and in Siesta Key, Florida. Bob was also an avid Ohio State Buckeyes fan. His greatest passion though was spending time with his six grandchildren and attending all their sporting, cheerleading, dance, and singing events.
