She was born on January 30, 1935 in Vick, Arkansas to the late Ollin Clyde and Marteal Colvin.
Clydean's greatest happiness came from her family. She loved being a grandmother and cherished every moment spent with her children, grandchildren, and loved ones. She enjoyed researching family history, crocheting, cooking, painting, and sketching. Clydean was a dedicated homemaker who took immense pride in caring for her family and always went above and beyond to ensure they were loved and well cared for. As the wife of a Naval officer, she faithfully supported her family throughout their journey together. She attended Gaston Christian Church in Belmont and found strength and fellowship in her faith community.
In addition to her parents, she is preceded in passing by her husband of 57 years, Bill Bradley; sons, Mark Bradley, Sr. and Billy Bradley; siblings, Machon Colvin, Franklin Colvin, Thresa Butterfield, and Chester Lee Magee; and stepfather, Chester Magee.
She is survived by her loving daughter, Cynthia Bradley; grandchildren, Chris Michaels and wife Victoria, Mark Bradley, II, and Maranda Michaels; great grandchildren, Cameron Michaels, Natalie Branham, and Asher Michaels; and siblings, J. Lathaniel Colvin and Ollis Colvin.
