William “Hadley” Mangrum, of Pinewood, Tennessee, worked hard, loved well and never passed up a good story or a Friday night football game. On July 31, 2025, surrounded by his family, he passed peacefully at the age of 94. Hadley was born in Dickson County, Tennessee, to the late Caleb Owen “Dick” and Hannah Sullivan Mangrum.<\/span><\/p>\n

As a young man, Hadley joined the United States Navy, serving his country during the Korean War. He married the late Helen Arnold Mangrum in December, 1953, and together they raised 3 children. After 31 dedicated years with the VA hospital, he retired. After retiring, he kept busy reading meters for the Bon Aqua-Lyles Utility District. He loved visiting friends and family and sharing stories.<\/span><\/p>\n

Hadley had a lifelong love for coon hunting. If you knew him well, you knew about his dogs, the stories, and the long nights walking through the woods. On Friday nights in the Fall, you could count on him being at a high school football game.<\/span><\/p>\n
