On Thursday, June 18, 2026, God, in His infinite wisdom, called Felicia Avonda “Candy” Bradley from labor to eternal rest. Though our hearts are heavy with sorrow, we give thanks for the gift of her life and the many ways she touched those blessed to know and love her.

Candy was born on July 18, 1968, in Rock Hill, South Carolina, to Patricia White and George Bradley. She was educated in the Rock Hill School District and graduated from Northwestern High School with the Class of 1987.

Candy was a woman of determination, strength, and unwavering dedication. She devoted 30 years of service to Northern Tool + Equipment, serving in various roles throughout her tenure. She was admired for her tireless work ethic, dependability, and commitment to excellence.

One of Candy’s greatest gifts was her honesty. She spoke her mind with sincerity and conviction, offering truth even when it was difficult to hear. Fiercely protective of those she loved, she stood firmly beside family and friends through life’s joys and challenges. Strong-willed and resilient, Candy commanded respect, yet beneath that strength was a heart overflowing with love, compassion, and generosity.

To know Candy was to know a woman who embraced life fully and unapologetically. She had a sharp sense of style and humor. Candy carried herself with confidence, grace, and unmistakable flair. Her laughter was infectious, her presence unforgettable, and her love for family and friends evident in the moments she shared with them.

Candy also had a passion for sports. She was a loyal fan of the Dallas Cowboys and the Duke Blue Devils. Family and friends knew that game days were serious business, and her loyalty to her teams never wavered.

Above all else, Candy treasured her family. Being a mother and grandmother brought her great joy and fulfillment. The love she poured into her children and grandchildren was one of her life’s greatest accomplishments and a reflection of the selfless devotion that defined her.

She leaves to cherish her memories her loving children: TiQuita Caldwell, Dre’James Jackson, and Shania Stevenson; her beloved grandchildren: Kaden Caldwell, Layla Caldwell, Ja’Mareah Lindsay, Ava Crisco, Kaliah Jackson, Kayden Carter, and Jaydence Cook, each of whom held a special place in her heart.

She is also survived by her mother, Patricia White; her father, George Bradley (Millie); her siblings: Kia White, Tobathias “BC” White, Dash Stitt (Chico), Enrico Smith, Chelsea Bradley, Lasaria “Cookie” Watson, Taricia “Trudy” Watson, Kendra “Betty Ann” Watson, Christopher “Phar” Watson (LaTia), Tracey White, and Donald Crockett; her beloved aunt, Gwen Watson, whose loving care and support were a source of comfort and strength to Candy; along with a host of nieces, nephews, cousins, and loved ones who will forever cherish the memories they shared with her.

Although our hearts grieve the loss of Candy’s physical presence, we rejoice in knowing that her life was a testament to perseverance, love, and loyalty. Her legacy lives on through the lives she touched, the lessons she taught, and the love she freely gave.
