Nedra Loraine Bradley

In loving memory, we announce the passing of Nedra Loraine (Thompson) Bradley, Beloved mother, grandmother, great-grand mother, sister, aunt, wife, leader, and friend. Known to many as Mom, Nanny, Net, Aunt Net, Sis, and Booboo, her light shone brightest through her love, care, kindness, loyalty, service, and commitment to the well-being of others.

Born Nedra Loraine Thompson in Upson County, Thomaston, Georgia, in the winter of 1944, to Pauline (Harris) Thompson and Elsie Lee Thompson, she was the second to youngest (youngest daughter) of six siblings. Listed in honor, as she loved them all so very dearly: Winifred Herring (Bennie), Jimmie Lee Thompson (Martha), Harris Wayne Thompson (Eva), Lawrence Randal Thompson (Brenda), Elsie Lamar Thompson, “Tommy”, (Deloris). May they all truly rest in peace.

As devoted to service, as she was to her family, Nedra served 25 years in Civil Service on Robins Air Force Base, retiring in 1994. Along side that, she served from 1983 to 1989 as president of the American Federation of Government employees on RAFB. Only the second woman to hold that office, at the time, she was also the first woman elected to that office in the state of Georgia. Her achievements for federal employees created better work environments, improved safety measures and standards, enabled polices for woman workers and flex time shifts, and leveled the playing field between government workers and upper management.

Later in life, she was influential in the lives of many as a care-giver and safety attendant for hospitalized patients, at Atrium Health-Navicent-Medical Center. She spent another eight years lifting people up in that role. Her faith was strong. Her heart was true. Her words always had meaning and she approached life head-on, with spunk and determination.

She was proceeded in death by: Paschal Neal Walker, Sr. (late husband), Leonard Whitfield Bradley (late husband), All brothers and sisters, and all brother-in-laws and sister-in-laws. (listed above). Granddaughters Leslie Anne Doxey and Sabrina Renee’ Dollar (Lenderman), as well as great-grandsons Michael Trace Oglesby/Dollar and Luster Tye Oglesby.

Left to cherish her memory are children: Paschal Neal Walker, Jr. (Jill), Amanda Leigh Doxey (Walker), Audrey Lynn Wood (Walker), grand children: Russell Doxey (Jes), Craig Walker (Angie), great grandchildren: Trent Dollar, Tate Oglesby, Kody Langlois, Kara Ogilvie, Kolby Doxey, Gauge Doxey, David Doxey, and numerous nieces and nephews, as well as all the kindred souls who knew and loved her.

Nedra will be forever missed by her very spoiled fur babies: great-grand pup Callie, and fearless felines: Mr. Midnight, Miss Wiggles, Mr. Marm, and Moe-Moe 1.00. In lieu of flowers please donate to the American Humane Society.

Heaven has gained a beautiful soul; the world has lost a brave, true, and precious heart. A memorial gathering will be held at 108 Oney Dr. Macon, Georgia 31216... On Thursday, November 12th, 2026. Friends and family are welcomed between 1pm and 5pm to honor her life.
