Gertrude Bradley died peacefully on Sunday, September 25, 2022, at the age of eighty-eight in Vero Beach, Florida.

Gertrude was born on 4 November 1933 to Austin and Olive Owens (née Ryan), and was raised in Brooklyn, New York. She graduated with a nursing degree from Hunter College, New York, and in 1986 received a Bachelor of Arts in anthropology from Upsala College in East Orange, New Jersey. Gert met her beloved husband Francis Joseph (“Fritz”) Bradley in 1960 when he was a patient at the hospital where she worked. They married in 1961 and enjoyed sixty-one years together. Gert and Fritz had four children (Frances, Eleanor, Kenneth, and Edward) and seven grandchildren (Sean, Matthew, Scott, Allyson, Alex, Katherine, and Kyle).

Gert enjoyed golf, going out to dinner, reading, history, travel, spending time with her grandchildren, and socializing with her many friends. She will be fondly remembered for her impeccable sense of style, being a voracious reader with a keen intellect, and always making her family and friends feel welcome and loved.  Gert was a member of the American Association of University Women and participated in fundraisers for the Rahway (N.J.) Hospital Foundation. She lived most of her adult life in Colonia, New Jersey, before she and Fritz retired to Vero Beach.  Gertrude was a devout Catholic and a parishioner and choir member at Holy Cross Church in Vero Beach for over twenty years.

Gert is survived by Frances (Thomas), Eleanor (Robert), Kenneth (Lynne) and Edward, as well as two sisters (Audrey and Nancy) and seven grandchildren.

A Funeral mass will be held at 10:30 AM on Monday, October 3, 2022, at Holy Cross Catholic Church, 500 Iris Lane, Vero Beach, Florida, 32963. Interment will take place at Cape Canaveral National Cemetery.
