Wendy Hadden, age 82, of Hubbardston, passed away peacefully on Saturday, September 13, 2025.
She was born in Dover, England on December 21, 1942, the daughter of the late Adam Vickers Hadden and Elsie Thompson. Wendy spent her formative years in Gorebridge, Scotland, near Edinburgh, with her father’s family. She was very proud of her Scottish roots and passed that love and heritage on to her children and grandchildren.
In 1967 Wendy emigrated to Worcester, MA and lived the majority of her life in the Worcester area. She worked at the Greater Worcester Association of Realtors for over 15 years, beginning as a secretary and working her way up to the Executive Vice President.
Wendy enjoyed spending time with her family and friends, reading, traveling, watching British television series (especially police dramas), and having a glass of wine.
Wendy is survived by her son, Bruce Dudgeon and his wife, Jan Little of Lake Wylie, SC, and her daughter, Tracy Dudgeon and her husband, Ervin Pilku, and their children, Caelan Pilku and Oliver Pilku, of Fleetwood, NY. She was predeceased by her brother Robert John Hadden of Edinburgh, Scotland.
A family memorial will be scheduled for a later date.
