Gayle Dorothy Hadden (nee Buff), age 67 of Phoenix, Arizona and formerly of Wayne, passed away peacefully at home on May 27, 2013 surrounded by her family.

Gayle was a credit card analyst for J.P. Morgan Chase for many years.

Gayle grew up in Lyndhurst and graduated from Lyndhurst High School with the class of 1963. She and her husband John had lived in Wayne since 1968 before moving to Phoenix twenty years ago. Gayle was a 4-H leader, a Remax Realtor, a member of the Pompton Falls Fire Co. #3 Women’s Auxiliary in Wayne, a nursery school assistant, and a member of the Junior Women’s Club and PTA.

Gayle and John were married on June 3, 1967 and have enjoyed forty six years together. Gayle’s interests included sewing, knitting, golf, cruising in her convertible with the top down, great music, laughing much and having a great time. She loved spending time with her family, which was the main reason she moved to Arizona – to be nearer to her children. She loved traveling and loved life. One of her final wishes was to go to the beach, so just two weeks ago, with her health failing, John drove her to San Diego where they were able to spend a few days with their feet in the sand and the warm sun was shining on her face.

Gayle is survived by her husband John J. of Phoenix, Arizona, her children; Kimberly Hadden Massie of AZ, Robin Hadden of AZ, John Hadden of Hardwick, NJ, and Christopher Hadden of AZ, eight grandchildren; John Hadden Jr., Makenna Hadden, Shane Hadden, Kaitlyn Ankrom Hadden, Jacob Massie, Ali Massie, Austin Hadden, Madison Hadden, and two brothers; Harold Buff Jr. of Cranbury, NJ & Alan Buff of Fairlawn, NJ. She was predeceased by her parents; Harold and Dorothy Buff.
