Toni M.W. Bradley

LITTLE ROCK — Toni M. (Wright) Bradley, 74, of Little Rock, Ark., passed away March 28, 2021.

Born in Ames, Iowa, to Robert and Frances Ritland Wright, she was a longtime member of First Baptist Church in Hot Springs and a current member of Calvary Baptist in Little Rock. Toni spent her life serving in the Baptist church alongside her husband of 56 years, a retired Minister of Music. Toni grew up in a military family, affording her the privilege of traveling all over the U.S. in her youth.

Any of you who had the privilege of knowing her understand what a blessing she was. You’ve never seen anyone barrel through adversity the way she did, not with stubborn resolve, but with pure joy and grace. She taught us all how to be strong, kind, caring and giving to any and all we come across. She never met a stranger and she exuded her love and light everywhere she went. Grandmother and great-grandmother to nine, her family meant everything to her. There’s a bright new star in the heavens and she’s loving and watching over us from afar.

Preceded in death by her parents; and a brother, Jock Wright. She is survived by her husband, Larry Bradley; children, Jeffrey Alan Bradley (Ronda), Sara Beth Bradley and Matthew Blake Bradley; grandchildren, Josie Michelle Bradley (Dustin Matthews-Presto), Teri Gail Bradley (Josh Hollier) and Sara Kristine Bradley (A.D. Foster); and great-grandchildren, Lilah Rae Bradley, Luke Allen Hollier, Whitley Elise Hollier, Joshua Hollier, Kylie Denise Foster and Colten Foster.

Celebration of life will be held at First Baptist Church Hot Springs at 1:30 p.m. on Saturday, May 15, 2021, with visitation to start at 1 p.m. Memorials may be made to Compassion International.
