Carol Ann Bradley

Carol Ann Bradley, a 35-year resident of Springs and an active member of St. Peter’s Chapel there, died on Dec. 30. Ms. Bradley died at home at the age of 65. Her death was attributed to pneumonia.

Born in Yonkers on Dec. 9, 1950, one of three daughters of Oliver A. Beckwith and Marie Caggana, she was a 1968 graduate of Yonkers High School. Her grandparents had retired to East Hampton by then, and the family spent many weekends and summers here with other relatives and friends. In 1981, Ms. Bradley came here to live to be closer to family members.

Following high school, she took classes to become a secretary, and worked between 1969 and 1971 as the assistant to the vice president of the Grolier Encyclopedia Company, leaving to become a full-time homemaker and mother. Ms. Bradley was married and divorced twice, and had two children, Jessica Grunewald Watson of Bradford, England, and John L. Bradley of East Hampton.

She was said to be passionate about her family, loved the beach, and liked playing bingo and card games with friends. Most recently, she was a caregiver for an elderly relative.

In addition to her children, Ms. Bradley leaves two sisters, Linda Palmer of East Hampton and Gail McManus of Barefoot Bay, Fla. She is also survived by a granddaughter, two step-grandchildren, and a cousin, Emily Grunewald, with whom she was close.

Her family plans a celebration of her life this summer.
