Deborah Lynn Bradley, 68, of Apollo Beach, FL, passed away peacefully on September 22, 2024, with her loved ones by her side. Debbie was born on March 30, 1956 in Benton, KY to Robert and Amelia McCormick. She was a beloved daughter, sister, wife, mother, grandmother, and friend.

Debbie graduated from Sapulpa High School in Oklahoma in 1974 and went on to pursue a Bachelor of Science degree from Northeastern Oklahoma State University in Tahlequah, OK. She dedicated her early life to accomplished sales positions at AT&T and IBM, where she was known for her savvy sales skills, work ethic, and being in IBM's '100% Club' for regularly exceeding her sales quotas.

In her later life, she dedicated it entirely to her family. She homeschooled her son Ben and daughter Kathleen for a full 12 years through to high school graduation. After they graduated, she stepped back into the world of business by starting a sales training entrepreneurship venture called Bradley Sales. She taught hundreds of salespeople her tried and true methods of sales, business, and relationships.

Debbie loved her family and friends beyond what words can express. She was deeply involved in the lives of others and was always there for anyone in need. She was also a cherished member of Bell Shoals Church Apollo Beach. Above all, Debbie was a devoted family woman who found joy in spending time with her children and grandchildren, always putting family first.

Debbie was a unique person. She was always interested in anything out of the box. She loved art, music, and anything blue. She was a strong woman who fought bravely through cancer treatment, being diagnosed with breast cancer over 14 years ago. Above all, the most important thing in Debbie's life was her faithful relationship with the Lord.

Debbie is survived by her loving husband, Chuck; her children, Ben and Kathleen, and their spouses, Alessa and Trevor; her grandchildren, Amelia, Piper, Walker, and Charlee; her parents, Robert and Amelia; and her siblings, Doug and Suzanne and their spouses Barbara and Richard.

A celebration of Debbie's life will be held on October 5 at 10 a.m. at Bell Shoals Church, Apollo Beach campus at 6414 Golf and Sea Blvd, Apollo Beach, FL 33572. Debbie's light, love, and laughter will be deeply missed by all who knew her.
