Anne Louise Bradley

Anne Louise Bradley, 91, passed away peacefully on Thursday, February 5, 2026. She was born on October 1, 1934, in Toledo, Ohio, to Ivor James and Tennye Byde (Davis) Lindsay.

Anne married the love of her life, Richard Bradley, in 1961. Together they built a warm, vibrant life and shared many cherished years before his passing in 2016.

A dedicated educator, Anne began her teaching career at Longfellow Elementary. She later stepped away from the classroom to raise her four children-her proudest accomplishment. Once her children were older, she returned to teaching and eventually retired from Central Elementary. Early in her life, Anne also spent a memorable year teaching in Aruba.

Anne was a member of OCCL (Ohio Child Conservation League) and a longtime member of Sylvania United Church of Christ. During her years at the University of Toledo, she was a proud member of Pi Beta Phi. She loved shopping, traveling, and exploring new places. Over the years, she enjoyed many trips, including visits to Windsor, England; Tokyo, Japan; Las Vegas, Hawaii, Maine, Florida, and Yellowstone.

She is survived by her children, Susan (Steve) Zirkel, Sandy Kelly, Brian (Susan) Bradley, and Beth (Jeff) Gilley; grandchildren, Chad Zirkel, Steven Zirkel, Brad Kelly, Allison (Noah) Burnett, Ryan Kelly, Colleen Bradley, Lindsey Bradley, Molly Bradley, Kevin Bradley, Connor Gilley, and Madelyn Gilley; and sister-in-law, Nancy Haas.

Anne was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Richard Bradley; her brother, Jim Lindsay; and her son-in-law, Matthew Kelly.

Anne's legacy is one of kindness, curiosity, and unwavering devotion to her family. She will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved her.

Visitation will be held on Sunday, February 15, 2026, from 12-5 pm at the Walker Funeral Home, 5155 W. Sylvania Avenue, Toledo, OH.
