Deborah Lynn Bradley

Deborah Lynn Bradley, 68, of Apollo Beach, FL,
passed away peacefully on September 22, 2024, with her loved ones by her side.
Debbie was born on March 30, 1956 in Benton, KY to Robert and Amelia McCormick.
She was a beloved daughter, sister, wife, mother, grandmother, and friend.
Debbie graduated from Sapulpa High School in
Oklahoma in 1974 and went on to pursue a Bachelor of Science degree from
Northeastern Oklahoma State University in Tahlequah, OK. She dedicated her
early life to accomplished sales positions at AT&T and IBM, where she was
known for her savvy sales skills, work ethic, and being in IBM's '100% Club'
for regularly exceeding her sales quotas.
In her later life, she dedicated it entirely
to her family. She homeschooled her son Ben and daughter Kathleen for a full 12
years through to high school graduation. After they graduated, she stepped back
into the world of business by starting a sales training entrepreneurship
venture called Bradley Sales. She taught hundreds of salespeople her tried and
true methods of sales, business, and relationships.
Debbie loved her family and friends beyond
what words can express. She was deeply involved in the lives of others and was
always there for anyone in need. She was also a cherished member of Bell Shoals
Church Apollo Beach. Above all, Debbie was a devoted family woman who found joy
in spending time with her children and grandchildren, always putting family
first.
Debbie was a unique person. She was always
interested in anything out of the box. She loved art, music, and anything blue.
She was a strong woman who fought bravely through cancer treatment, being
diagnosed with breast cancer over 14 years ago. Above all, the most important
thing in Debbie's life was her faithful relationship with the Lord.
Debbie is survived by her loving husband,
Chuck; her children, Ben and Kathleen, and their spouses, Alessa and Trevor;
her grandchildren, Amelia, Piper, Walker, and Charlee; her parents, Robert and
Amelia; and her siblings, Doug and Suzanne and their spouses Barbara and
Richard.
A celebration of Debbie's life will be held on
October 5 at 10 a.m. at Bell Shoals Church, Apollo Beach campus at 6414 Golf
and Sea Blvd, Apollo Beach, FL 33572. Debbie's light, love, and laughter will
be deeply missed by all who knew her.
