Mrs. Hartley was born in Choctaw County, MS, the seventh of nine children, but lived in Pascagoula since 1953.
She is preceded in death by various family members, including her husband, Robert Lee Hartley.
She is survived by two daughters, Mary Hartley Davis, of Pascagoula; and Sarah Hubbard and her husband Joseph, of Moss Point. Two sons, William Hartley, of Butner, NC; and George Hartley and his wife Svetlana, of Gearhart, OR. One brother, Seth Drane Adams, of Union, MS. Three grandchildren, Joseph Hubbard and his wife Lisa; Mary E. Davis; and Robert W. Davis. One great-grandson, Luke Hubbard.
Besides working in a tool room in a South Carolina shipyard during World War II, Mrs. Hartley stayed home to raise her family. "Granny," as she was called, could be fiercely protective of her brood, but she also had a gentle side. When her son recently asked what gave her the most joy in life, she replied, "You babies."
A Celebration of Life will take place 2pm, Sunday, December 6, 2009, at Calvary Baptist Church in Pascagoula. The family will receive friends 30-minutes prior to the service.
A private inurnment will take place at Serene Memorial Gardens in Moss Point.
The family requests that in lieu of flowers, donations be made to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital and the American Cancer Society.
