CARL L. HADLEY
Sigourney

Carl L. HADLEY, 73, died at Rainbow Hospice Facility in Johnson Creek, Wis., on Friday, Nov. 22, 2019, after a recurrence of acute lymphatic leukemia he had fought against for three years and yet had enjoyed a year-long remission from.

Carl was born July 22, 1946, at the Ottumwa Regional Hospital to William and Thelma (BOOK) HADLEY. He proudly attended Linby Polk No. 7 for grade school and was a member of the first sophomore class to attend Pekin High School, graduating in 1964. He attended and graduated from barber school in Davenport in 1965 and came to work in the Sigourney Barbershop full-time with Ron Ward.

In 1966, Gordy Goeldner introduced Carl to the love of his life, Sue UTTERBACK. They were married June 17, 1967, at the Sigourney Methodist Church. He decided soon after that he wanted to change professions and joined his brother, Wayne HADLEY, at the Packwood Lumber Co., where the two of them worked side by side for 40 years until retirement. At Packwood Lumber, Carl did outside sales, building and drafting. Also not wanting to completely give up his barbering career, he continued to cut hair part-time at his own barber shop in Packwood two nights a week and Saturday mornings for many years until he and Sue moved to live in the country near Linby, Iowa, where he then shared space at Barb Hall's beauty shop.

He was also an active member of his community as a proud member of the Packwood Fire Department for over 40 years. Carl was the quiet type of dependable friend. He deeply loved farming, the rural setting and the people of the Packwood community that he called home until 2018 when he and Sue moved to Johnson Creek, Wis., to be closer to his daughter Diana and her family so he could watch his grandchildren in their school activities on a more regular basis.

Carl was preceded in death by his parents, William and Thelma (BOOK) HADLEY; and his son and grandson (Douglas' son) Douglas and Gabriel HADLEY.

He is survived by his wife, Sue (UTTERBACK) HADLEY of Johnson Creek; daughter, Diana (Scott) THOMAS and their children, Rylie, Dylan and Duncan) of Johnson Creek; daughter-in-law, Michelle (Douglas) and her children, Lexie (Seth), Faith, Luke and Blake, of Plainfield, Ind.; brother, Wayne (Kay) HADLEY of Packwood, and their son, Kevin (Christine and son Mitchell) of Irving, Texas; one great-grandchild; and nieces, nephews, cousins, many other family members and numerous dear friends.

Funeral service: 10:30 a.m. Wednesday at Packwood Christian Church. Visitation: 4 to 7 p.m. Tuesday at the church. Arrangements: Holm Funeral Home, Sigourney.
