Lois Bradford Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Snapp-Bearden Forsyth Chapel on Apr. 2, 2025.
Lois Jean Bradford, 87, of Branson, Missouri, went to be with her Lord on March 30, 2025, Cox Medical Center Branson. She was born on January 23, 1938, in Los Angeles, California, to Homer and Mahala (George) Vest.
She grew up in El Segundo, California attending Richmond Elementary School and graduating from El Segundo High School.
Lois married Raleigh Dean Bradford on February 9, 1957, in El Segundo, California, and together they were blessed with three children. She moved from Seal Beach, California to the Ozarks about thirty years ago.
In addition to her role as a mother, Lois worked as a para-educator for the Branson School District, where she found great joy in working with children and contributing to their lives. Her nurturing spirit and commitment to those around her were evident in everything she did. Lois was a loving wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother, whose life was marked by her devotion to her family, those around her, and her Lord. Lois was a dedicated member of the Woodland Hills Church in Branson, Missouri, and her faith played a central role in her life.
She was preceded in death by her parents and her beloved husband, Dean Bradford.
Lois was blessed with one son, Ken Bradford (wife Kimberly Marie), and two daughters, Karen Hart (husband John) and Kris Delap (husband Bill), along with numerous grandchildren and great-grandchildren who will cherish her memory.
She leaves behind a legacy of love, kindness, and faith, and her memory will live on in the hearts of her family, friends, and all who knew her.
Celebration of life services will be held at First Baptist Church Forsyth, Friday April 4, 2025, 10:30 A.M. Arrangements were under the direction of Snapp-Bearden Forsyth Chapel, Forsyth, Missouri.

Lois was always sharp looking no matter what she was wearing. I always admired that.

Lois was such a joy to work with at the the library. We always looked forward to seeing her everyday. She loved shelving books, helping patrons and getting to know the community. She will be truly missed. Sending prayers to her family.

Lois has been my neighbor for 15 years, and you could always count on her joyful, smile and happy spirit. We laughed a lot together and I have the greatest admiration for this dear woman. She was a force of nature and of course for good in this community. She will be missed very much.
