Rebecca Anne “Becky” Hadley, age 79, former resident of Moscow, Tennessee, passed away peacefully on Tuesday afternoon, December 28, 2021, at Methodist LeBonheur Germantown Hospital with family at her bedside. She had battled lung cancer along with other health problems for over 5½ years with a quiet and unwavering strength and courage.
Becky was born July 23, 1942, in Tunica, Mississippi, the daughter of the late Bedford Forrest Love and Ena Kate Brown Love. She was married to the late Leslie Hazie Hadley on February 10, 1979 and was a loving and devoted homemaker.

At the time of her husband’s death in June of 2020, they were living in Germantown, Tennessee with Becky’s sister, where she remained until her passing.
