Brianne Hadley Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
Brianne (Bree) Hadley passed away peacefully on November 6, 2024, in Michigan after a brief but courageous battle with cancer. Bree's life was a testament to joy, kindness, and boundless creativity, guided by her deep Christian faith. Her passions for music, art, education, and travel shaped her life, and her friendships extended across the globe, each touched by her warmth and unique spirit.
Bree is survived by her loving parents, Mark and Barbara Hadley, and her devoted sisters, Tabatha Laverty (Kyle) and Amber Hostetler (Stefan). She was the beloved aunt of Gabe, Ezra, Rhys, and Evelyn, who will always cherish memories of their Aunt Bree's bright laughter and infectious love for life.
In keeping with her wishes, there will be no formal funeral service. Instead, Bree's family encourages friends and loved ones to honour her memory with a random act of kindness this week.
For those wishing to further commemorate Bree's legacy, the family requests donations be made to:
Farley Foundation (for Canadian donations) celebrating her love for her extended fur family in Ontario. https://give.farleyfoundation.org/e-cards/in-memory-of-designs
Spring Arbor University (for US donations) in remembrance of her passion for music education. https://www.arbor.edu/about/offices-and-schools/advancement/give-today/
Bree will be dearly missed, but her light lives on in the love she gave, the faith she held close, and the joy she brought to the lives of those around her.
