Mrs. Jeanette Bradley, 76, of Maryville, MO., was called home to God and her beloved husband Arnold on October 7th, 2010. Mrs. Bradley was born on October 17, 1933 in Red Oak, Iowa; she was the last surviving child of William Reilly and Gladys Rogers. She moved at a young age with her family to Hamburg IA where she spent many idyllic years as a child and young adult. Mrs. Bradley graduated from Hamburg High School and the Capitol Beauty School in Omaha, NE . She worked for a short time as a beautician at Brandeis in Omaha, NE before realizing her dream as a homemaker when she married the love of her life Arnold L. Bradley in May of 1956. She was a devoted wife and loving stay-at-home mom to six children. Mrs. Bradley loved cheering and hand wringing at wrestling matches, attending band performances, celebrating birthdays, playing card games and any other activity involving her children or grandchildren. She spent much of her time and energy as a caregiver to family members.

She was preceded in death by her husband Arnold L Bradley, her parents, her brother David Rogers, and sisters Gloria Harrell and Cleo Sue Martin.
