Bradford, Jacquelyn Ann, 74, passed away peacefully at her home on August 25, 2015 surrounded by her family and beloved dog Iris. Jackie was born October 6, 1940 to Marguerite and William "Bud" Heinrich, both of whom predeceased her in passing. She married Robert W. Bradford on February 4, 1960 and promptly bore two girls, Teresa and Tracy, just fourteen months a part. Jackie had four younger brothers that she adored, Jerry, Jimmy (predeceased), Johnny and Jeff who all married lovely wives that were like sisters to her - Betty, Sheila and Rosie. She is also survived by sisters -in-law Nancy, Sharon (Raleigh), Mildred and brother-in-law, Tom (Bobbie) and was predeceased by mother-in-law, Nancy Wilson, in-laws Billy Wynn, Bonnie and Ralph Swinford, Rosemary Wilson, Bill Bradford and Carol Wells. Jackie was a fun mother and wife to her family. She worked at the local Dairy Queen for years and at the Urbana Kroger's deli. A special thanks to her dear friend Judy Back whom she worked with at both places and who brought her immense joy and laughter. Jackie was so very loved by her family. She had a wonderful sense of humor and a big, big heart. She leaves behind many nieces, nephews and cousins that she loved dearly. Jackie was a friend and advocate of all animals. She is predeceased in life by beloved family dogs Sparky, Duchess, Sam, Henry, Willie and Lexie. The grace and dignity that she displayed in her final days will stay with her family always. Her smile, laughter, wit, wisdom and incredible generosity will never be forgotten. That she is at peace and in the hands of God is a blessing. Private services are being held at the convenience of the family. Memorial donations may be made to Community Mercy Hospice. Arrangements by CONROY FUNERAL HOME.
