Judy Hatley

Then: Judy Hatley worked as an inspector in the sheets department for 27 years before being laid off in 2002. She said she loved the job and still keeps in touch with many of her friends from the department. She met her husband while working at Pillowtex.

Now: Hatley works in the bakery department at the Kannapolis Wal-Mart Supercenter. She added that when the Wal-Mart opened nearly five years ago, more than half of the staff was laid-off Pillowtex employees.

Legacy of the mill: “I’ll always remember that place, it was the life of the town … I had so many good friends there and I love the work. People will remember those relationships they had back then.”
