Tina Bradford

With a heart filled with profound sorrow, yet immense gratitude for a life beautifully lived, I remember our mother, Tina Marie Bradford, affectionately known as Bubbles in her youth. Tina was born on May 8th, 1972, in Saranac Lake, NY, and she graced this world with her radiant presence until June 22nd, 2025.

Our mother, Tina was a compassionate soul, always ready with a warm hug or a kind word for anyone in need. Her empathy was a beacon to those around her, and her loving nature made her a confidante to many. She was supportive, not just to her family but to anyone who was fortunate enough to cross her path. As William Shakespeare rightly said, "The meaning of life is to find your gift. The purpose of life is to give it away."

Mom was a New York native, raised in and around Litchfield, CT. She moved to Sussex County, Delaware, in the early 1990s, where she created a loving home filled with laughter, warmth, and countless moments of joy. She was an outstanding student, a trait she passed on to all of us her children. But what mattered most to Tina were her children and grandchildren. She is survived by her children Aaron (Tracy), Hunter, Jade (Dev), Ryan, her grandchildren Damon, Trey, and Jaliyah, her parents Becky Reidhaar and Donald Palmer, her sister Brenda, her brothers Bob Reidhaar, Jason and Joseph Palmer. She was preceded in death by her loving husband Glynn Bradford.

Starting College to be a math teacher, Mom found her gift in photography, and she used it to sprinkle joy in the lives of countless families. Her photos were not mere pictures; they were moments of pure bliss captured in time that families will cherish forever. She had a unique knack for capturing the innocent laughter of babies, and those photos are indeed a testament to her extraordinary talent, but sadly more time behind the camera instead of Infront of it.

Although Mom is no longer with us, her spirit lives on in the hearts of those she loved. Her legacy of love, compassion, and kindness will forever be a guiding light for her family. As we remember Tina, let us celebrate her life and the beautiful moments she gifted us through her photography. We invite you to share your memories and upload photos of Tina on the memorial page. In doing so, we keep her spirit alive and her memories evergreen. As Aaron, her son, "My mother was a woman of love, and she left us with love. That love is her legacy, and it will forever be our guide."
