Sandy Gay Hadley

Sandy Gay Chalfant Hadley passed away on Monday December 23, 2019 at 7:25 pm at the Willson Hospice House in Albany, Georiga after a courageous battle with ovarian cancer. Sandy was the daughter of the late Max S. Chalfant and the late Wilma Baughman Chalfant and born on February 2, 1957 in Winchester, Indiana. She graduated from Winchester Community High School in 1975 and continued her education graduating from Manchester College with an art degree. Sandy professed her faith at an early age living her life with a servant's heart and a love for God. She was an active member of Byne Memorial Baptist Church in Albany, Georgia.
Sandy was a devoted wife, mother, sister, aunt, and most importantly Mimi to her family and a devoted friend to many. She was a believer in Christ who lived by His example spreading God's love and His word. To know her was to love her and it was evident by her smile, laugh, generous heart, artistic ability, bright outlook, and fierce love of God that she was a shining light that spread joy wherever she went. She was never one to say "no" and was always willing to help in any way she could as well as being a strong believer in the power of prayer and lived by that standard.
Sandy is survived by her beloved husband of 40 years, R. Timothy Hadley, daughters Shaya Layne Beaver (Jason) and Kyle Kristine Martin (Matthew), and grandchildren Olivia Beaver, Lynna Martin, Max Martin. She is also survived by four siblings Judy Miles, Danny Chalfant (Sherry), Steve Chalfant, and her fraternal twin Cindy Acree (Tony), as well as several nieces, nephews, greater nieces, and great nephews.
A celebration of life will be held on Saturday December 28th at Byne Memorial Baptist Church at 2pm in Albany, Georgia with Visitation for those wanting to pay their respects prior to service at 1pm.
Sandy is to be laid to rest next to her parents at Hopewell Cemetery in Farmland, Indiana. A second Celebration of Life service will be held Saturday January 4, 2020 at 12pm at her childhood church, Bear Creek Friends Church of Winchester, Indiana, for her hometown family and friends.
