Lucile Fisher Hadley

Lucile Fisher Hadley was a 1936 Wilmington College graduate who served her community as a schoolteacher, a leader within her Quaker faith, a member of WC's Board of Trustees, and as a volunteer with numerous local organizations. Her daughters wished to honor their mother's memory by establishing the Lucile Fisher Hadley Memorial Endowed Scholarship. Since 1998 it has benefited students from Clinton County majoring in education. Daughters Mary Ellen Hadley Krisher and Christine Hadley Snyder followed in their mother's footsteps. Mary Ellen is a WC alumnus (1960) and a retired teacher, while Christine was also a teacher and served on the Board of Trustees—becoming its first female chair in 2003. Recently, Mary Ellen (bottom left) and Christine (bottom right) enjoyed having lunch with three recipients of the Hadley Scholarship: (l-r) Sara-Jayne Carr, Amy Nystrom, and Emmie Lakes.

We extend our best wishes to the students for successful teaching careers, and we salute the Hadley sisters and other members of the Marble Society—and invite you to join them.
