Dear Family, I did Anne's hair for many years and she was the sweetest lady. She always bragged on her children and grandchildren with a big beautiful smile. She also talked about her church family and how she loved each one. She was always brings me home made. Pimento cheese and other good treats. I know you will miss her but I also know that this is not the end. I'm sure she is dancing with relatives who have gone on before her. I'm so glad I got to meet this fine lady. She was a jewel!

Sandy, Beth and families, I was so sorry to hear about the death of your sweet mom. When I was President of the United Methodist Women at First Church, I could always know that she would help and support me. She would always volunteer to decorate for our Annual Bazaars and also when we played host for Anita's Angels Pinto Bean Supper with proceeds going to American Cancer. Miss Anne was a sweet Christian lady who will be missed by many! RIP Ms Anne until we meet again!!!!Martha Stultz

Mrs. Bradford was a truly wonderful lady! My sister and I went to Draper Elementary School while she was there. She was always so sweet and kind to everyone. She made every one of us in the school feel special. We also had the pleasure of knowing O'neil. He was our mailman for years. My sister and I couldn't pronounce O'neil when we were little we always called him Oatmeal. He never said a word to correct us! He was very special too! They were a great example of true love and just great people!
Our hearts are heavy today with this news! We will continue to pray and keep you in the light during this difficulty time.
Wishing you peace and comfort in your special memories of this lovely lady,
