Mrs. Hadding had worked for 56 years at the Lima Bargain Center, primarily in the plumbing and electrical areas. She was known throughout the community as ‘Mrs. Bargain Center’ and she loved to meet and talk with people. One of her favorite things was shopping at Good Will Stores and she would always find one when traveling.

She is survived by a son – Edward P. Hadding of Waynesfield; a daughter – Hope Christine Hadding of Mexico; and 2 grandchildren – Megan Hadding and Jaden Hadding.

She was preceded in death by 3 brothers – Winifer Freeman, Earl Freeman, George Freeman, Jr.; 3 sisters – Ella Siler, Geneva Sprague, and Kathryn Bryant.

DOROTHY...ONE OF THE MOST AMAZING, HARD WORKING, KINDEST, LOVING PERSONS I KNEW. I HAD THE PRIVILEGE OF WORKING WITH DOROTHY FOR 35 YEARS. SHE TAUGHT ME SO MUCH. I TOLD HER SHE COULDN'T LEAVE UNTIL SHE TAUGHT ME EVERYTHING. THE STORIES SHE WOULD TELL, AND YOU LOVED HEARING THEM THE LOVE SHE HAD FOR HER FAMILY WAS GENUINE AND REAL. THEY ALL MEANT THE WORLD TO HER. SHE NEVER KNEW A STRANGER. SHE WELCOMED ALL. SHE HAS TOUCHED SO MANY LIVES, I WILL NEVER FORGET ALL THE KIND AND LOVING THINGS SHE DID FOR ME AND MY FAMILY. SHE WILL ALWAYS HAVE A SPECIAL PLACE IN MY HEART!
