PLAIN CITY- Verna London Hadley, 88, passed away peacefully on May 18, 2012. Verna was born May 20, 1923 in Ogden, UT, to Seymour Leon and Mary Greer Housley London, the second of five children. She graduated from Ogden High School in 1941. She married Ambrose L Hadley on November 11, 1943; the marriage was solemnized in the Logan Temple on April 29, 1965. They were blessed with seven children, Raenee (Lewis) Lowder, Rodney Brose (deceased) Hadley (Kathy Hadley Williams), Sandra Kay (Ron) Hood, Oscar Leon (Debbie) Hadley, Louise (Rodney) Bryant, Nancy Joyce (Rick) Fisher, Carl Wayne (Paulette) Hadley.

She was active in the LDS Church serving in many callings. She especially enjoyed teaching young children and sending birthday cards to all the Relief Society sisters. She worked for the Weber County School lunch program and as a clerk for the U.S. Forest Service. Her hobbies were crocheting, embroidery, bowling, camping, cooking and canning, and spending time with her grandchildren. She made afghans, "poop" ducks, dishcloths, hot pads, and towel rings to give to family, friends, and neighbors. Christmas was very special to Mom; each grandchild received a gift from Grandma every year.

Survivors include six children, 27 grandchildren, 70 great-grandchildren (one on the way), seven great-great-grandchildren (three on the way), brother, Frank Wayne (Luetta) London, sister-in-laws, Launna London Albiston and Sandra London.
