Hayley Jade Adams

Hayley Jade Adams, better known as Hay Hay or Princess Hayley Jade, 3 year old daughter of Jesse Adams, passed away on Tuesday, August 6, 2024, in the loving arms of her mama.  Hayley was born in Owensboro, KY on June 11, 2021.

Hayley had a vibrant spirit, tender soul, a laugh that could light up any room, and a gap tooth smile that would brighten anyone’s day.  She loved watching Moana on repeat with her blanky and her paci.  She loved being outside, watching bubbles and just everything chaos.   It was always Hayley’s world and everyone else found joy just being a part of it.

Hayley was preceded in death by her Nonna, Rhonda Adams; her Nana, Patti Klockow; and her great grandparents, Bill and Marilyn Dettman.  She is survived by her loving mama, Jesse; the best sissy in the whole wide world, Makenzy Alexa; her titi, Alexa (RyRy) Mundell; her grandparents, Billy and Stephanie Adams; her great grandparents, Bill (Diane) Adams, Joan Adams, Lee Klockow, and Richard and Judi Ross; her great aunt, Laura (Dennis) Barr; her beloved aunts and uncles, Scott (Leah) King, Jordan (Kayla) King, Hannah (Christian Payne) King, Lillie (Zach) Flaherty, and Ben King; her special cousins, Aria, Ellie, Griffin, Payson, Piper, Nash, and Eliza.

A celebration of Hayley’s short, but impactful life will be held at 2:00 PM on Saturday, August 10, 2024, at Radiant Church, with Pastors Jeff and Dina Hackert officiating.  Burial will follow in St. George Cemetery.  Visitation will be held at Hager Funeral Home from 3:00 PM until 8:00 PM on Friday, and at the church from 10:00 AM until the time of service on Saturday.
