Hadley Ann Huffman Obituary

Hadley Ann Huffman passed away unexpectedly on June 15th at the age of 20 years old in Detroit, Michigan. She was born in Ann Arbor, Michigan on August 11th, 2000 to Robert Charles (Chuck) Huffman and Colleen (Cokey) Smith Huffman. She is survived by her loving mother, loving father and adoring sister, Chloe Huffman, and her paternal grandparents, Charles Clayton Huffman and Janet Chew Huffman. She joins her maternal grandparents, Hadley James Smith and Maureen Therese Kelley Smith in heaven. Hadley will be missed by many aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends who loved her dearly, and she loved them too. Hadley attended St. Francis of Assisi Elementary School and transferred to Tappan Middle School. She continued on to Pioneer High School where she graduated in 2018. At Pioneer, she excelled as a member of the varsity tennis team and won several tennis tournaments with her partner, Sophie Alfonso. After high school, Hadley attended the University of Arizona. Two years later, she decided to return home to the Midwest and enrolled in Wayne State University’s pre-med program. Hadley was strong-willed and passionate. She believed in inclusion and was a fierce advocate for equality. Hadley started the Students Against Medical Racism Non-profit (SAMR) at Wayne State to bring attention to the injustices in medical access for bi-racial and people of color (BIPOC). It’s difficult to sum up Hadley’s beauty, quick-wittedness, and wonderful personality into just a few sentences. Everyone knew when Hadley walked into a room. Anyone who met her experienced her electricity and was drawn to it. She lived a full lifetime in her 20 years. Hadley was a social butterfly, making friends from every walk of life all around the world. She would talk to anyone and everyone, anywhere, at any time. She was magnetic. We were blessed to learn many valuable lessons from Hadley: how to fight injustice, how to be loyal, how to laugh, and most of all, how to have fun. Hadley is now in a wonderful place where she will be socializing, dancing, and making new friends. Laughter, love, and fun guaranteed. She was deeply loved and will be missed by many. Fly high butterfly. A celebration of her life is being planned for July 24th, 2021. Further details to come. In lieu of flowers, please donate to: The Hadley Huffman Fund for Inclusion and Equality at https://gofund.me/d23bd610, a non-profit foundation in Hadley’s name to combat Medical Racism.
