Julia Brady Obituary

Julia Anne Cadden Brady, also known as Judy, Mom, or Nana, passed peacefully on January 29, 2021, surrounded by the love of her family.

Julia was born April 24, 1946 to Kathleen and Thomas Cadden in Teaneck, NJ, the second of six children, and graduated from Notre Dame HS in Easton, PA. She married John Richard Brady on June 17, 1967 at St. Aloysius church in Jersey City, NJ. They raised a large, raucous family of 8 kids and numerous foster children and friends who became family in Bethlehem, PA.

She instilled a sense of community service in her children, volunteering at various organizations across the Lehigh Valley.

She was pre-deceased by her parents, 3 siblings, and her eldest daughter Catherine Mary (Katie).

She is survived by her husband, John, of Palm Coast, and children:

John Nicholas (Simi) of Indiatlantic, FL; Richard (Mary) of Trinity, NC; Julie Brady Rouse of Bethlehem, PA; Maureen "Beanie" (Yannis Pavlidis) of Boulder, CO; Michael (Manda) of North Whitehall Township, PA; Owen (Maria) of Tampa, FL; Sarah Bramich (Ryan) of Moore Township, PA. In addition, she is survived by 22 grandchildren and 7 great grandchildren.

Services will be announced at a later date. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in Julia's name to Kindred Hospice Foundation.

Brady family and friends, I am so sorry for your loss. I remember spending many good times at your house growing up, and on weekend mornings I loved your tradition of having a big family breakfast of french toast (cooked in bacon grease!!!) with your mom at the helm. She will be missed!

My heart aches for The Brady Family right now. I'm terribly sorry for this huge loss. She is truly a large part of my childhood but now she's doing the Irish Jig in Heaven with Katie by her side.
