Life Story for Joel E. Bradley
On April 24, 1945 John and Tessie Lula Bradley became the proud parents of Joel Earl Bradley.
Joel remained a life resident of Daphne, Alabama until his passing on his father’s birthday, May 4, 2017. He thrived under the love and care of a large close-knit family and nurturing community. Joel joined Pine Grove C.M.E. Church at a young age and attended Baldwin County Training School.
At some point in Joel’s life, partly because of his easy going and accepting nature of his children, nieces and nephews, he became affectionately known as “Daddy Bo”. No child was denied his attention. No life occurrence -- good, bad or otherwise – was denied his humorous point of view on the matter.
Joel was preceded in death by his parents; sister Eurydice Bradley Kinney; three infant brothers and two grandchildren and a great grandchild.
Left to cherish Joel’s memories which are too many to forget, are his wife Patricia Watson Bradley; daughters, Angela (Tyrone) Hendry, Tanzie Bradley White of Daphne, AL; Carline Lynch, Robertsdale, AL; JaTavia Bradley, Olivia Bradley, Brittany Bradley of Daphne, AL; one son, Joel Anthony Bradley of Daphne; one devoted stepson, Maurice Watson of Daphne, AL; sisters,Dr. Elva E. Bradley, Tuscaloosa, AL and Trudy Bradley Powell, Montgomery, AL. He is further survived by seventeen grandchildren; thirteen great grandchildren; cousin, Jerome Pruitt survives him with the love of a brother; two devoted friends, Larry Jackson and Jeffery Tunstall of Daphne, AL to also cherish Joel’s memory; along with a host of nieces, nephews, cousins, friends, neighbors and the “Shade Tree” gang.
Mr. Bradley's remains will lie in state on Friday, May 12, 2017 for 4:00 p.m. until 8:00 p.m. at Small's Mortuary, Daphne. Visitation will be held on Saturday, May 13, 2017 from 9:00 a.m. until the 11:00 a.m. funeral hour at the African Universal Church, 8355 Jonesboro Road, Daphne, AL 36526. Interment will follow in the Friendship Cemetery, Daphne, AL.
DIGNIFIED AND PROFESSIONAL SERVICES ENTRUSTED TO SMALL'S MORTUARY, INC., 8822 COUNTY ROAD 64, DAPHNE, AL 36526.
