Paula was called home by our Savior on September 30th, 2023 surrounded by her children and loving family.

She was born July 22nd, 1956 in Moses Lake Washington only seven minutes after her twin sister Pamela. In her early life she spent time living in Washington, California, as well as Newfoundland where her father (Jerald) was stationed while serving in the Air Force. Her immediate family then settled in the Tri-cities along with much of the rest of her family.

Paula was educated in the Kennewick school system ending up with a nursing degree from Columbia Basin College. She worked as a nurse at Kadlec where she met and married her husband of 18 years, Dan Bradford. They settled in Othello Washington for many years before moving back to settle once more in the Tri Cities. Paula went to work at Hanford as a Nuclear Chemical Operator for many years. She was also a trainer in the same field until medically retiring.

Paula has three sons and a daughter. She absolutely adored her children and would always do anything for them. Paula was an amazing mother, sister, daughter, aunt, and grandmother. Besides her family, Paula also loved camping and was an avid camper while raising her children. Much time was spent in her pop-up tent trailer camping throughout the forests of WA, OR, ID, and CA with her family. We also spent time camping in British Columbia. Other loves throughout her life included running for many years as well as a complete devotion to her pets.

Paula was the sweetest and most loving person you could ever hope to meet. She will be so incredibly missed by every one of us.

She is proceeded in Death by her father Jerald and her brother Jeffrey.

She is survived by her mother Ardeth. Sisters Pamela (Kevin) Meehan and Jackie (Kevan) Aman. Sons Christopher (Liz) Bradford, Zach (Ashley) Bradford, Brian (Kim) Bradford, and daughter Kaitlyn (Jesse) Ferry. We love you so much mom. Grandchildren Kade, Logan, Zachary, Zane, McKenna, Colton, Willow, Dominek, Nevaeh, and Aubrie Bradford. Also, Christopher and Jaelyn Ferry. Paula was also aunt to 6 nephews and 2 nieces.

Services will be held at Mueller's funeral home in Kennewick on Saturday, Nov 4th at Noon.
