Linda L. (Ray) Bradley

With hearts full of both sorrow and gratitude, we announce that our beloved mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother, Linda L. Bradley, went home to be with her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ on Tuesday, August 26, 2025.

Linda was a devoted servant of the Lord who spent her life ministering the gospel and pointing others to Christ. She loved Jesus with her whole heart and dedicated her days to sharing His love with everyone she met. Her ministry extended beyond the pulpit, as she poured her heart into opening Bradley’s Christian Book Store, a place where countless souls found not only books but also prayer, encouragement, and the presence of God.

To her family and friends, Linda was a shining light—spunky, quick-witted, funny, and full of life. She carried joy wherever she went and had a way of making everyone feel seen, loved, and valued. Her faith was unwavering, her laughter contagious, and her spirit inspiring. Above all, she loved her family deeply and cherished every moment spent together.

Though our hearts grieve her passing, we rejoice knowing she has entered the eternal presence of the Lord she loved so dearly. Her legacy of faith, prayer, and love will continue to shine through the many lives she touched.

“Well done, good and faithful servant… enter into the joy of your Lord.” – Matthew 25:23

Linda is survived by her loving husband of 57 years, Randall Bradley; four children, Darlene Bradley, Lynne Bradley, Randall (Shannon) Bradley and Vince (Jessie) Bradley; seven grandchildren, Collyn (Matt) Hamby, Parker, Tucker, Peyton, Harper, Bo and Rex Bradley; her great granddaughter, Mia Hamby; two sisters, Barbara (Alton) Pike and Patty (Robert) Wheaton; her brother, Joe (Gina) Ray; two sisters-in-law, Carolyn Ray and Connie Ray; and her brother-in-law, Sam Pike. She was preceded in death by her parents; her granddaughter, Mia Bradley; two brothers, Bernard Ray and Bud Ray; her sister, Joy Pike; and her niece, Faith.

A celebration of her life will be held at 11:00 AM on Friday, August 29, 2025, at Radiant Church with Revs. Jeff and Dina Hackert officiating. Burial will follow in Cap Anderson Cemetery. Visitation will be held at the church from 4:00 PM until 8:00 PM on Thursday and from 10:00 AM until the time of service on Friday. All who knew and loved her are welcome to come and honor her remarkable life.
