Jan was born and grew up in Aloha
and lived in the same house until she was a Junior in High School,
when they moved to Hillsboro. She graduated from Hillsboro in 1971
and went to work as a caretaker in a nursing home. During her
working career she was also a receptionist for Dr. Woodruff. She has
worked the last five years as a caretaker for the Alzheimer Dementia
Facility behind McDonalds in Forest Grove.
In 1979 Jan married David Hadley.
Their children:
1. Isaac Hadley - 1980 He is an
outdoors person who loves to hunt, fish, and ride
Dirt bikes. He works in logging
and at a mill in Washington. His fiancee has 2 children and they are
looking towards a bright future.
2. Ben Hadley - 1984 Ben goes to
college off and on. He loves fishing and Art; painting and
sketching. Ben lives in Portland and works at “Trader Joe’s”.
Jan was a stay-at-home Mother from
1980 until 1987 when she went back to work. She moved several times
from Hillsboro to Mollala to Glenwood west of Forest Grove and there
she stayed so the boys could grow up in the Forest Grove School
District.
Hadley’s divorced in 1987.
All through these years she has
attended several Lutheran Churches as she moved about, but is now
settled in Forest Grove and a member of Mt. Olive Church.
When thinking of hobbies, as a
hard working lady, Jan was surprised she didn‘t have a hobby. When
would she have time? .Finally we decided “scrap booking” would be
her “hoped-for-hobby” in the future and for now the Ladies Group
Dinner on Thursday night she and her Mother attend is her current
hobby.
