The Mount Pleasant, South Carolina, community is mourning the death of Hadley Page Kaloupek, a 15-year-old whose passing was announced in a family obituary published through J. Henry Stuhr Funeral Home. Hadley died on Sunday, November 1, 2026.

Born on June 1, 2011, at East Cooper Hospital, Hadley grew up in the Old Village of Mount Pleasant. Her obituary remembers a young person with a strong curiosity, enthusiasm for learning, and a wide range of interests spanning writing, theatre, outdoor activities, and school clubs.

Her death has brought profound sadness to her family, friends, classmates, and others who knew her.

Who Was Hadley Page Kaloupek?

Hadley was the daughter of Jeff and Erin Kaloupek and the younger sister of Kelly Kaloupek. She attended Mount Pleasant Academy for elementary school before continuing her education at The University School of the Lowcountry.

At the time of her passing, she was in her sophomore year at Academic Magnet High School.

Her family described her as an exceptionally curious young person who enjoyed asking questions and understanding the world around her. Academically, she was a dedicated student who consistently performed well throughout her school years.

She also took pride in her performance on the PSAT, which she first completed in eighth grade.

Her Love of Writing, Theatre and Creativity

Writing was among Hadley’s interests as she grew older. Her creativity and ability to express herself through stories and poetry earned her recognition in student writing competitions.

She received a Silver Key and an Honorable Mention through the Scholastic Art and Writing Awards. She also earned second place in a youth essay competition organized by the Veterans of Foreign Wars.

Theatre was another important part of her school experience. Although she joined the Musical Theater Company later than many of her peers, she quickly developed an interest in performing and was particularly excited about rehearsals for the production of Beetlejuice.

Hadley was also involved in several extracurricular activities, including the Girl Scouts, where she earned the Silver Award with friends from her troop.

She participated in her school’s Dungeons and Dragons club and had been looking forward to co-leading the Creative Writing Club. She had also recently joined the Climbing Club.

Family, Friends and Personal Memories

Hadley’s obituary describes the close relationships she maintained with her family and friends.

She enjoyed spending time outdoors, particularly camping, and grew up appreciating the natural surroundings of South Carolina’s Lowcountry. Fishing was another activity she tried, although she sometimes found the worms more interesting than waiting for a fish.

Her friendships were also an important part of her life. One personal detail shared by her family was her habit of waking up early on friends’ birthdays so she could be among the first to send them birthday wishes.

Her family also remembered the special relationships she shared with her grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins.
