Cynthia Lee Bradford

Cynthia Lee Bradford, loving daughter, wife, mother, and grandmother Cynthia “Cindy” Bradford, 57 of Tontitown, with family and loving friends at her side, died December 15, 2013 at Circle of Life Hospice in Springdale, AR after a long struggle with Neuroendocrine Carcinoid Tumor Cancer. With her father in the US Air Force, she was born at a naval hospital July 21, 1956 in Corona, CA to Paul James and Darla Graves Davis. Her parents both being from Claremore, OK, she moved back there with her brother for a time until her father took employment with NASA contractors and moved the family to Titusville, FL. Her early school age years were spent there. Following the completion of the Apollo program, the family found its way back to Claremore where Cindy graduated from Claremore High School in 1974. She attended Claremore Junior College and later enrolled in the University of Arkansas. She met her husband there and they were married in 1976. While he finished college, she worked at First National Bank in Fayetteville, AR. In 1978 she then moved to Little Rock with her husband and shortly after her children were born in 1980 and 1982. In order to stay close to her children, she began work at Pulaski Heights Baptist Preschool. The family relocated to Springdale and she became the preschool director for First Baptist Church there in 1988 retiring from that position after 3 years. She then turned her full attention to raising her children and became a full time volunteer in their schools, church, and other activities. In a real way, she became a mother to many. Her family was always at the center of her interest. Upon her children leaving home, she found time for additional volunteer activities with her favorite being her work as a counselor at Loving Choices Pregnancy Center in Rogers, AR. Cindy also cherished her time with a group of ladies she met with regularly for Bible Study. She was a member of the “Heart and Soul”Sunday School Class and First Baptist Church in Centerton, AR. To say that she was concerned about the souls of the people she came in contact with was an understatement. For many years and especially during the last six months of her life, she took advantage of many opportunities to share her devout faith in her Savior Jesus Christ. She is survived by her husband James “Jim” Bradford whom she married August 21, 1976, one son James “Casey” Bradford and wife Vilay Karen of Fayetteville, one daughter, Jennifer Leigh Mills and husband Skyler Jay of Springdale her parents Jim and Darla Davis of Tontitown, one brother Paul James Davis, Jr. and wife Miriam Grace of Tontitown and two grandchildren, Scarlett Isabelle and Levi Holden Mills, nephew Jeffery Scott Davis and wife Jamie Shae of Tontitown, and numerous beloved aunts, uncles, and cousins.
