Ms. Bradford was a devoted member of Mt. Pilgrim Baptist church who attended regularly before multiple strokes presented a setback. Before taking ill, Judy enjoyed fishing and shooting pool whenever she was not away at sea with the Merchant Marines. It was also easy to find her "fixing hair!" One of her greatest talents was the one she cultivated as a beautician. Not to mention, Judy had a great love for cooking and baking. She will always be remembered as "Judy B" to those closest to her- a lady who worked hard and played hard with an infectious laugh! Her life was short, but her memory will be long.

The beloved sister, mother, grandmother, and friend will be memorialized at 10:00 A.M.on Friday, July 31, 2015 at Mt. Pilgrim Baptist Church, 1913 Mestina St., Corpus Christi, Texas officiated by Pastor Claude Axel.
