Markie Michelle Bradley, was born July 26, 1997, and passed away too soon on July 4, 2024, after a valiant battle with cancer.

Those left behind to cherish her memory include: her beautiful children Ella Kate Orrell, Ava Elizabeth Ramirez, and Jack Bradley; husband, Dylan Bradley; mother Elizabeth Gathright; father Stanley Gathright; as well as a host of extended family and friends.

Markie was the most loving mother, wife, daughter, and friend. She never met a stranger. Her beautiful, audacious, charismatic, and in her words, "too much" personality was a blessing and comfort to all who knew her. She was the brightest light in this dark world. Markie attended Jason Alan's Barber College where she excelled at her craft by capturing Beast of the Week several times, all the while battling a horrible disease, proving her determination and commitment to her great passion. She was an inspiration and touched the lives of her classmates as well as the many patrons who graced her chair. Everything she touched grew, from her children, to her many plants, her fish, friends, and also her wonderful clients Jason Allen's Barber college.
