Margaret Laura Bradford

Margaret L. Mott was born on April 29th 1924 in Wayne, MI. and graduated from Wayne High School class of 1942.

Margaret married Charles Ray Bradford in 1943, and lovingly raised their daughters Darlene “Bunny” and Judith “Judi” while Ray fought in World War II with the Marine Corps, after the war the young Bradford family moved to the sunny shores of Florida.

Marge and Ray put down roots in the early 1970’s in St. Petersburg Beach, FL where they most notably managed and eventually bought into the Alden Motel and Suites where they made many family memories and lifelong friends.

Margaret is survived by her daughters Darlene Bradford and Judith Bradford Blissit and was lovingly cared for later in life by her granddaughter Cynthia “Cindy” Blissit. Her memory will be cherished and kept alive by her grandchildren Chris, Brad, Cindy, Michael, Mark and Laura as well as her many great grandchildren and great-great grandchildren.

Margaret will rest eternally at the Union Chapel Cemetery in Inkster, Michigan in the Lyle family plot as she is preceded in death by her beloved mother Grace Eileen Lyle Mott and father Louis Millard Mott as well as her sisters Evelyn Mott Frakes, Beulah Mott, Dorothy Mott Lawyer and her brother Robert Mott.

Our hearts ache with the absence of our beautiful and thoughtful matriarch she was a devoted Christian, mother, grandmother, great grandmother, great-great grandmother but most of all she was a best friend and an endless supply of love and support.
