Willella Yvonne Bradford Memphis, Tennessee Obituary

Willella Yvonne Bradford

“Bonnie” Our beloved Willella Yvonne Lomax-Bradford, affectionally known as “Bonnie,” went to live with our Lord on June 6, 2020, after enduring Kidney Disease for many years. Bonnie was very precious to us because of her loving, caring, and generous spirit. She was reared in Memphis by her mother, Mrs. Ella Mae Lomax-Woods, and her dear grandmother, Mrs. Jerry Conner. After attending business college, she was employed by the Federal Express Corporation as a keypunch operator and continued to work there until her retirement. After becoming a devout member of St. Augustine Catholic Church, she joined the St. Monica Sodality and worked faithfully as a participant in decorating the facilities as needed. Bonnie married Dallas Bradford, II, and they were blessed with two sons, Jeffrey Bradford of Dallas, Texas, and Dallas Bradford III, and his wife, Elbonie Bradford of Toronto, Canada. Bonnie leaves to cherish her memory, her devoted husband, her two sons, and her beautiful granddaughter Kadynce. Also, mourning her loss are her aunts Delores Scurlock Lomax, Hildred Collier Lomax, and uncle, Michael Harris. Many other relatives, friends, former co-workers, and church members will continue to mourn “Bonnie.”
