Mary Bradford Molina

Mary Bradford Molina, 65, finished her fight with cancer on July 11, 2016. Born in March 1951 in Boston, MA to William Francis Bradford, Jr. and Mary Sharry Bradford, she was the eldest of four. Raised in St. Louis, MO, she graduated from St. Joseph’s Academy and St. Louis University, where she was the Theta Phi Alpha sorority president. In 1982, she moved to Chattanooga, TN with her daughter Molly and joined the family business, TAG Distributors. After raising Molly, she traveled extensively with her father and on her own, seeing the world many times over from the deck of a cruise ship. She spent over 1,000 days at sea and will be making the Atlantic Ocean her final resting place. As she went through treatments, she kept her spirits high and made it a point to spend plenty of time with Molly’s family in Atlanta. She traded the chemo chair for a deck chair in the Mediterranean whenever she could. She is survived by her daughter, Molly Crawford (Taylor) and treasured grandson Townes, brothers Bill Bradford (Rose) of Crossville, TN and Jamie Bradford (Debbie) of Astatula, FL, her sister Lucy Jepson-Turner (Anthony) of Nether-Wallop, England, and many, many friends. Her caring nature, telephone calls, silly songs and great emails will be missed. She is probably most upset about not being able to vote for Donald Trump. A funeral Mass will be held at 1pm on Friday, July 15th at Immaculate Heart of Mary Catholic Church, Atlanta. Memorial contributions can be made to St. Joseph’s Academy of St. Louis, MO or Catholic Charities.
