Dorothy Jean Bradley

The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. He makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside still waters. He restores my soul. He leads me in paths of righteousness for his name's sake.

Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me. Psalm 23:1-4.

Dorothy Jean Bradley, age 81, passed away peacefully on January 3, 2023. She was the eldest child, born January 22, 1941, in Tampa, Florida, to Doreatha and Nathaniel Richardson. She attended Edward Waters College in Jacksonville, Florida.

Dorothy loved people and brought laughter wherever she went. She also brought caring and serving into the lives of many. She had sayings that were trenched in wisdom and Psalm 23. Friends, family, and colleagues appreciated her outlook on life and her outgoing personality, and Dorothy will always be remembered for her calm, carefree nature. She loved the beach, cats, Florida, and family. Her fierce independence and gentle spirit will be forever missed.

She was preceded in death by her mother, Doreatha (Brown) Richardson, her father, Nathaniel Richardson, Sr., and her brothers Franklin Richardson and Nathaniel Richardson, Jr. She is survived by a daughter, Judith E. McCray and a son, Elliott L. Bradley.

A Celebration of Life service will be held at Dunbar Funeral Home - Dutch Fork Chapel at 7600 Woodrow Street, Irmo. SC 29063 at 1:00 p.m. Wednesday, January 11, 2023.
