TEACHEY - Ora Lee Quinn Bradshaw, age 91, of Teachey, NC left this earthly life for her eternal rest on Tuesday, June 3, 2025.
She was born on September 26, 1933, in Magnolia, NC; the daughter of the late Amos Ralph and Blanche Whaley Quinn who passed when she was a very young child. She was also preceded in death by her husband of 47 years Everette "Pete" Bradshaw, Sr.; her foster parents the late Verdell and Cora Teachey; sisters Rosa Price, Rachel Price, Carrie Quinn and Hannah Quinn; brother Amos Quinn and her feline friend "Lucy".
Ora Lee was a life-long member of Island Creek Baptist Church where she served faithfully for many years as Sunday School Secretary.
Surviving to cherish her memory are her children Carol Batchelor and husband Kenny of Teachey, Everette H. Bradshaw of Teachey and Robert Amos Bradshaw and wife Gwen of Wallace, grandchildren Sandy B. Allard (Justin), Austin Vance Batchelor, Blake Bradshaw (Anna), David Bradshaw (Whitney) and Greg Bradshaw; great-grandchildren Allison Bradshaw, Savannah and Jarrette Bradshaw, Kinsley Bradshaw and Teddy Bradshaw; special cousin Sis Quinn of Magnolia; Ora Lee's feline companion "Rosie"; and numerous nieces, nephews, extended family and friends that loved Ora Lee dearly.
Ora Lee was a loving mother and caring grandmother who loved her children with all her heart. She enjoyed the simplest things in life, but her greatest joy was family. She was happiest when she was outside working in her beautiful yard making sure it was tidy and immaculate. Ora Lee had a big heart for animals and birds, and she enjoyed caring for them. With a servant's heart she loved helping others. It was normal to find at Ora Lee's home bags of needful items she was preparing for someone in need. She enjoyed reading Christian inspirational books and listening to her favorite singers, Elvis Presley and Perry Como. Most of all, Ora Lee loved her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, and her life was a great example of that love. Ora Lee will surely be missed but treasured memories of her will forever remain in the hearts of those who knew and loved her.
