Blossom Grace Bradley

Blossom Grace Patricia, daughter of the late Willie Chin Quee and Ida Iris Chen, the 13th child of 17 siblings was born in Alley, Clarendon, Jamaica on August 10, 1944. On March 17, 2019, in her hometown of Olney, Maryland, God gave Blossom, affectionately known as “B”, her wings and she is now peacefully resting in her heavenly home.

Blossom grew up in Alley and received her formal education there. In 1959, she met and married her teenage love, Trevor Anthony Chuck. In the late 1960s, Blossom and Trevor sought a new life and new opportunities by migrating to the Washington, DC area. Shortly after their migration, Trevor passed away in 1971. With the help of her loving and supportive family, Blossom persevered and gained work as a Clerk Typist for the American Finance Corporation in Silver Spring, MD. During her tenure at AFC, Blossom met her second husband, the late John Bradley.

Blossom decided to switch careers, so she furthered her education by attending and graduating from Nursing School in 1979. She served dutifully in the Mother-Baby Unit at Holy Cross Hospital until her retirement in late 2005.

Blossom was a member of Aspen Hill Christian Church in Silver Spring, MD. She was also a member and volunteer with the Jamaican Nationals Association.
