Judith Thompson Bradley Of Quogue Dies March 1

Judith Thompson Bradley of Quogue, and formerly of New York City, died on March 1 on Long Island. She was 81.

Ms. Bradley, know as “Judy,” was born on June 12, 1939, in New York City, the daughter of the late Samuel Alcott and Ruth Allen Thompson. She spent most of her life in New York City, Buck Hill Falls, Pennsylvania and Quogue.

Ms. Bradley attended the Chapin School in New York and graduated from Miss Porter’s School in Farmington, Connecticut, and then Bennett Junior College in Millbrook, New York. She married Edward Michael Bradley in June 1962, and they raised four children together in New York City.

Ms. Bradley was kind-hearted, warm and loving, according to her family, who noted that she was always thoughtful and caring of others and carried herself with elegance and grace, always with a smile. She loved gardening and decorating and was an avid golfer and tennis player in her day and enjoyed playing backgammon until the end. And she loved making holidays feel extra special for her family, preparing her home fit for the occasion. But most if all, she was a gracious and loving and devoted mother, grandmother and friend, her family said.

Her four children and nine grandchildren were her greatest pride and joy, according to her family.

Ms. Bradley is survived by her husband E. Michael Bradley; her daughter, Jennifer Treat Bradley; three sons, Michael Thompson Bradley (Melissa), Thomas Alcott Bradley (Ashley) and Samuel Allen Bradley (Natasha); nine grandchildren, Olivia and Sam Cannell, Fiona and Sawyer Bradley, Annabel, Louisa and Oliver Bradley and Victoria and Samuel Bradley; and her brother Allen Thompson.
