Dudley Chase Hathaway was born in New Bedford, Massachusetts, on October 3, 1927. He married his college sweetheart, Aileen Faith Stevens, from Hinckley, Maine on September 6, 1948. He graduated from Eastern Nazarene College, Quincy, Massachusetts, and earned degrees at Nazarene Theological Seminary, Kansas City, and Boston University.
During the period of 1952 to 1962, Dudley pastored Churches of the Nazarene in Johnson, Vermont, and Saugus, Massachusetts. In 1961 he was commissioned a chaplain in the United States Navy and served on active duty from January 1962 through November 1990. His active duty involved a variety of assignments on shore and at sea including duty with surface forces, submarine forces, naval air, training commands and the United States Marine Corps. Overseas he served in Okinawa, Spain, Japan and with the First Marine Division in Vietnam.
From 1978-1980 Chaplain Hathaway was the Navy's only chaplain assigned full-time at Arlington National Cemetery. It is most fitting that he be buried in Arlington National Cemetery where he ministered to so many military sea service personnel and their dependents. He often referred to his time at Arlington National Cemetery as one of the most rewarding ministries of his Navy career. His military decorations included the Meritorious Service Medal and the Navy Commendation Medal with Combat "V" and two Gold Stars in lieu of second and third awards. Dudley retired in December 1990, with the rank of captain and settled in Lexington, Kentucky.
He passed from this world while at home at age 94 on March 25, 2022, to meet Jesus who he had served so faithfully all these years.
