Deborah Bradley

Tupelo-Deborah Marie Bradley, 67, departed this life on Friday, Nov. 18, 2022 from Diversicare and met her Creator face to face.  A quiet, moving kind and gentle soul whose life was devoted to her God, her Church and her family, Deborah was born in Tupelo on May 1, 1955 to the late Willie Lee Bradley and the late Beatrice Elizabeth Johnson Bradley.  She spent her life as a master homemaker and housekeeper and a devoted caretaker to her large family.  A single woman, she was a rock to her siblings and her extended family who often knew her as “Mother” .  She was an extraordinary skilled cook and made the best spaghetti in these parts.  She was a member of the Church of the Living God. Deborah always put others above herself
