Linda Brunelli

"So do not fear for I am with you, do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you. I will uphold you with my righteous right hand."

Linda Gayle Bradley Brunelli passed away November 2nd at home surrounded by family and friends.

Linda was born May 17, 1954 to Harold Emery and Marie Hopkins Bradley in Milford Delaware. She fought a lifelong battle with Lupus but due to her faith in God and sheer determination she lived many years beyond what doctors had predicted. The joy of the Lord was her strength and she was happiest when she was doing His work for someone else.

Most didn’t know it but, as a teenager, Linda played rhythm guitar in “ The Bradley Family” band, was an Ordained Minister and had an amazing entrepreneurial spirit, always having some kind of project underway.

Daughter, Tricia Unger, her husband Ron and grandchildren Raquel, Braque and Zeke.

Son, Lance Simpler, his wife Brandy and grandchildren Devany, Layne, Henley, and Leighton. Stepdaughter, Holland Hines and grandchildren EJ, Erika and Erika’s husband Austin.

She also had other close friends that regarded her as their mother and grandmother.

Sonia Zmich and her children, Alyssa, Madison, Scout and Shiloh.

Denise Blankenship, her husband Brandon, and children Cody and Cassandra.

Lynn Cox, her husband Rob and son Tyler.

Brother Harold Bradley Jr. and his wife Janet, of Bridgeville Delaware. Brother Lester Bradley, wife Kathy and his daughter Heather, of Smyrna, Delaware.
