Joyce Darlene Bradley

Joyce Darlene Bradley, age 85, born on October 27, 1939, in Cardin, Oklahoma, passed away peacefully on April 30, 2025, at her home surrounded by her family in Grove, Oklahoma. Joyce dedicated her life to being a loving wife, mother, grandmother and friend.

Joyce worked as a waitress, where her warmth and care touched many. She was recognized not only for her work but also for her creative spirit, which she expressed through her love of arts and crafts. Joyce enjoyed bowling, fishing with her husband, and traveling with her family, creating cherished memories along the way. She fulfilled her bucket list when she went to Hawaii last year. Although, taking care of her family was her highest priority.

Joyce was an active member of the Assembly of Wyandotte church alongside her husband before his passing in 2013, Joyce found great joy and community in her faith, recently attending the COS church of the shepherd. Her personality shone brightly through her commitment to family, her enthusiastic pursuits, and her unwavering love for those around her.

Joyce is survived by her beloved children, Dona Beehler, Sandy Stephenson and her husband Gary, Joyla Stone and her husband Jeff, Gary Bradley and his wife Vicky, "Billy" Bradley and his wife Cyndi. She leaves behind a legacy of love through 28 grandchildren, 78 great-grandchildren and 36 great-great grandchildren, who will carry her memory forward.

Joyce was preceded in death by her parents, Jesse Earl Hattery and Nancy "Asalee" (Gibson) Hattery, her husband Wayne Bradley, and four children: Cheryl Benton, Milton Newberry, Jr., Brenda Burris, and Patricia Bradley, and four siblings, Herbert Lawson, Betty Cutbirth, Earlene Allen, and Russell Hattery.
