Patricia Bradley

Patricia Ann Bradley, 79, passed peacefully from this life on Wednesday, May 7, 2025, surrounded by her loving daughter and grandchildren at her home.

Patricia was born August 30, 1945 in a small-town called Lehigh, Oklahoma to Calvin and Ruth Pruitt. She lived a life filled with adventure, fueled by her love for travel and the joy of discovering new places and people. But her greatest treasures were always her two children and her cherished grandchildren, who brought her endless pride and happiness. She found peace in her garden and delight in her flower beds, tending them with care and patience, much like the way she nurtured those she loved. Known for her boundless kindness and warm heart, she left a lasting impression on everyone she met.

A proud grandmother, her greatest joy was spending time with her grandbabies—playing with them, laughing with them, and cheering them on, especially at the baseball field. There was nothing that made her smile more than watching her grandbaby hit one out of the park.

She had a love for the simple pleasures in life: early morning yard sales, sunny days on the water boating and fishing, and the sound of gospel music filling her home. She also never missed a chance to tune in and watch Donald Trump—always with a strong opinion and a bigger heart.

Her warmth, wit, and unwavering love will be missed by all who knew her. Though she may have left this earthly home, her spirit will bloom forever in every flower bed, echo in every gospel tune, and shine in every smile of the grandchildren she adored.

Left to cherish her memory is her daughter Ruth Avery of the home and son, Oscar Robert Crawford; 6 grandchildren, Bobbie Jo Hicks and husband, Everett of Siloam Springs, Arkansas, William David Avery and wife, Janna of Siloam Springs, Arkansas, Ricky Avery and beloved partner, Rachel McIntosh of Siloam Springs, Arkansas, Jason Crawford of Sonora, California, Julian Crawford and wife, Katylynn of Warrensburg, Missouri, Danyel Koestler; 18 great-grandchildren, Samuel Avery, Chris Hicks, Jaelynn Avery, Bella Salie, Cameron Avery, Olivia Avery, Hudson Avery, Hattie Avery, Evvy Avery, Maddie Collette, Emeri Collette, Michael Koestler, Matthew Koestler, Brooklynn Koestler, Jayden Koestler, Jaxon Koestler, Rylee Crawford, and Conner Crawford; 2 great-great-grandchildren, Kane Crawford and Madalynn Koestler; 2 siblings, Ronald Glenn Pruitt of Siloam Springs, Arkansas, and Francis Warwick of Washington; and many other loved ones.

Preceding her in passage is her husband, Dale Bradley, 2 grandchildren, Bobby Crawford and Samantha Fox; and several brothers and sisters.

The funeral service for Patricia will be held 1:00PM on Wednesday, May 21, 2025 at Heritage Missionary Baptist Church in Siloam Springs, Arkansas. Pastor Delmer Hume will officiate the service. Burial will follow at Martin Cemetery in Siloam Springs, Arkansas.
