Judy Bradley

     Judy Bradley, a beloved mother, grandmother, great grandmother, sister, aunt, and friend, passed away peacefully on September 6, 2025. She was 73 years old.

     Judy was known for her quiet strength, sharp wit, and deep love for her family. She dedicated many years of her life working at Jessup Door in Dowagiac and later at Tyler Refrigeration in Niles. A woman of steadfast independence and an unwavering work ethic, Judy spent her life providing for her family.

     After retiring, Judy found joy in the simple comforts of home, where she spent her days with her two cherished cats, Suzie and Eve, and her great-grandson Austin. Her happiest moments were those shared with her grandchildren and great grandchildren, whom she loved fiercely and without reservation. Conversations with them often brought out her brightest smiles and warmest laughs.

     Judy’s love was quiet but deep, and when she gave it, she gave all of herself. She had a no-nonsense demeanor, a quick sense of humor, and a heart full of love for those closest to her.

     She is survived by her daughter, Regina Rock; her grandchildren Christina Castaneda and Bradley Rock (Stacey); and her great-grandchildren Austin, Devin, Maysen, Faith, and Jaxon. She also leaves behind her devoted sisters: Diane Jackson, Betty Chandler, Cathy Pasley (Glen), Carolyn Costner, Brenda Moore, and Lisa Herter; along with many nieces and nephews who brought her great joy throughout her life.

     Judy was preceded in death by her grandparents Herman and Edna Blankenship, Houston and Donar Jackson. Father Clifton Jackson and mother Helen Jackson, and her siblings Houston Jackson, Ricky Jackson, Keith Jackson, Kenneth Jackson, and Raynell Jackson.

     She will be deeply missed by all who knew her and remembered for her resilience, her laughter, and her unwavering love for her family.

     A private celebration of life will be held by the family May 9th 2026 2pm at 928 Hillandale Road Benton Harbor Michigan. All are welcome to join.
