Ruby Hadley Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Petty-Eastside Chapel Funeral Home LLC on Dec. 26, 2025.
Ms. Ruby Diane Hadley, of Rabun, Alabama, born in Atmore, passed from this life leaving behind a legacy of joy, faith and love. Ruby's heart was big enough for everyone she met especially the children she adored so deeply. She had a smile that could soften any moment and a kindness that made people feel instantly cared for.

Ruby's faith was the center of her life. She loved her church and carried her bible with a devotion that inspired those around her. She treasured the little things that brought her comfort – her watch, her purse and the familiar routines that made her feel at home. She loved cheering for Alabama football, a true fan through and through- Roll Tide Roll.

Ruby will be remembered for her gentle spirit, her unwavering love for her family, and the joy she brought into ever room. Her presence was a blessing and her memory will continue to shine in the hearts of those who loved her.

She is preceded in death by her grandparents, John and Ruby Hadley and Leslie and Lucy Taylor.

She is survived by her mother and father, Hamilton and Shirley Hadley; three sisters, Tammy Walker (Elroy Harbison), Stephanie (Tony) Tolbert, and Angela Feely; brother, Christopher (Kristie) Hadley; numerous nieces, nephews and great nieces and great nephews.

Funeral services will be held at 2:00 PM on December 29,2025 at Lighthouse Tabernacle Church of God with Reverend Randal Short and Brother Carl Smith officiating

Burial will follow at Dean Cemetery.

Visitation will be held from 6:00 PM until 10:00 PM on December 28,2025 at Lighthouse Tabernacle Church of God.
