Marie I. Bradley, 59
Marie I. (Mitchell) Bradley, of Hull, died unexpectedly on Dec. 14. She was 59. 
She was the beloved mother of Joseph Mitchell Bradley, of Hanover, and the cherished daughter of William (“Bill”)  Mitchell, of Hull, and the late Irene (Dunphy) Mitchell. 
She was the loving sister of Betty Ann Doherty and her husband, Wayne, of Whitman; Kathy Mitchell and Jack Mitchell and his wife, Leigh, all of Scituate; and the late Peggy Rand and her husband, George Rand, of Hull. Marie is also survived by many nieces, nephews, and cousins, and she leaves her friend, Bill W.
Marie grew up in Hull Village among many close friends. She cherished spending time with her family, especially on the front porch of her family home. She enjoyed getting her hair and nails done, traveling, and spending time at the beach, as well as singing, dancing, and bringing true joy to everyone she met. She genuinely enjoyed moments of partying and celebrating the holidays with her family, especially Memorial Day in Hull.
Marie was a longtime employee of Delta Airlines and the Marriott Corp. While employed at Delta, she made many friends, including Mel Simmons, who eventually succumbed to breast cancer. To honor her and their friendship, Marie created the “Mel’s Bracelet Fundraiser,” which to date has raised millions of dollars. 
Marie was so proud to have been a part of AA and to have celebrated more than 25 years of sobriety, taking one day at a time. But what she loved most was being a mother to her son, “JoJo.” From the moment he was born, Marie took her role as a mom as the most important gift in her life. Spending time with her baby boy was her preference over anything else in the world.
Even after suffering a brain bleed and stroke 12 years ago, Marie still radiated light into the world through her faith, personality, laugh, and smile. She had a tremendous impact on every person she encountered and was grateful for every second of every day. Heaven has gained a very special angel and a lot more song and dance. We are so grateful for the gift of her life and want to continue her memory through acts of kindness, being grateful, sharing laughs, and helping those who need it most.
Visiting hours were held on Wednesday in the Pyne Keohane Funeral Home, 21 Emerald St. (off Central Street), Hingham. A Celebration of Life Service is to be held in the funeral home at 9:30 a.m. on Thursday prior to the funeral Mass in St. Mary’s of the Sacred Heart, 392 Hanover St., Hanover, at 10:30 a.m. 
A gofundme has been created in Marie’s memory to cover any remaining expenses, and the rest will go to her son so that he can experience the life she would have wanted for him. See www.Keohane.com or call 1-800-Keohane for directions and online condolences.
