Eloise Eckert Hadley

Eloise E. Hadley passed away peacefully on March 13, 2013 at Grace Care Center Northpointe in Tomball, TX at the age of 81. She was born July 29, 1931 in Wichita Falls, TX to Jake and Lucille Eckert. After graduating from Wichita Falls High School and attending two years at Hardin College (Midwestern State University) she married John Paul Hadley, Jr. Together they owned and operated Paul’s Café on Old Lake Rd.
