Obituary

Edith Hoard Bradley, 80, of Raleigh, NC, passed away on August 14, 2026. Born on November 9, 1945, in Tarboro, NC, Edith was a loving mother, devoted nana, and a true friend to everyone who crossed her path.

Visitation will be 10:00 - 11:30am on Saturday, August 22, 2026 at Carlisle Funeral Home with the Celebration of Life following at 11:30 a.m. in the Chapel with Rev. Davin officiating the service.

Edith graduated with the Tarboro High School class of 1964 and married Bennie Bradley in 1965. She was a proud Tarboro girl at heart, and her love for her hometown never wavered. Among her greatest joys in life were her precious triplet grandchildren, whom she considered her proudest achievement.

Edith never met a stranger. She had a gift for making everyone feel welcome and valued, always ready with a word of encouragement or a comforting presence, even while facing her own battles and illnesses. She loved dancing, spending time at the beach, cheering on Tarboro football, and gathering with friends and family whenever she could. Her warmth and generosity of spirit touched countless lives.

Above all, Edith was a devout Christian who believed in God with all of her heart and soul. Her faith was the foundation of her life, and it sustained her through every season. She now rests in the arms of her Savior.

Edith is survived by her daughter, Lora Bradley (Kyle); her beloved triplet grandchildren, Brody Kurtz, Bradley Kurtz, and Olivia Kurtz; nephews Tony Renfroe (Cherri), Mark Renfroe (Terri) , Timmy Boykin (Leeann), Kevin Camp (Melody) ; and nieces Ginny Lee Melton (Brian), Tina Melton Crowden (Stacey), and Julia Camp (Pat).

In lieu of flowers donations can be made in Edith's honor to Cobb Memorial Presbyterian Church; 1101 Sunset Ave. Tarboro, NC 27886.
