Sandra “Gail” Stott Bradley, 87, of Lenexa, Ks died July 3rd at 9:34 p.m. at Trustwell Living. She lost the battle with the horrible disease of Alzheimer's after a courageous seven-year fight. Gail was born April 23rd, 1937, in Kansas City, Kansas where she grew up and lived until 1985. She graduated from Wyandotte High School in 1955. She married James “Jim” Bradley in 1956 and raised her family in the same community only a mile from where she grew up.  In the early years she was an active member at First Presbyterian Church, active in Camp Fire Girls, Boy Scouts and PTA at William Allen White Elementary, West Junior High School and F.L Schlagle High School during her children's school years. As her children grew, Gail began working outside the home. She worked in K.C.K. for Dr’s Floersch, Bolton and Johanian for several years during the 1970’s and early 80’s. In 1982 she went to work for the law firm of Weeks, Thomas and Lysaught in K.C.K. During those years she and her family moved to Lenexa and in1986, when that firm closed their doors, she was asked to join the Lenexa office of McAnany, Van Cleave and Phillips Law Firm where she would remain until she retired in 1996.  While in Lenexa she was an upstanding member of Salem Lutheran Church in old town Lenexa where she served on the Church Council as Evangelism Chairman and Vice President, was active in the Senior Citizens group and had served on the Altar Guild since her and her granddaughters joined the church in 1995. She is preceded in death by her loving parents Milo and Mildred Peat Stott and two of the saddest losses of her life, her sister Jan Clair Stott Baumgart who was born on April 23rd and died on July 3rd just like Gail. Gails youngest daughter, Kenda Sue Bradley (husband Michael Adams) who died April 2nd of 2020. Gail is survived by her wonderful husband of 68 years, James Harold Bradley of the home and her two other children, daughter Kristen Lynn Bradley (wife Cindy Richards Bradley) of Mission, Ks. and her son Kyle Reed Bradley (wife Cynthia Bennett Bradley) of Raytown, Mo. ‘GG’s life was full to the brim with her involvement with her surviving granddaughters that she loved so very much. Nici Carson Whitlock (husband Ira Whitlock), Tiffany Bradley Erwin (husband Allan Erwin), Halli Bradley-Shomin Bussell (husband Michael Bussell, decd.) and Kelly Bradley. Also ‘GG’ is survived by 13 Great Grandchildren who absolutely adored her. Madison, Evelyn and Emma Brownlee, Justice and Jacob Whitlock, Issac Bradley, Lynn, Isabella and Joanna Erwin, Lane and Lily Bradley and Milo and Huxley Bussell. The family would like to acknowledge and thank the staff at both Trustwell Living and Monarch Hospice for their loving assistance in caring for Gail.

My sincere condolences to Jim and family. Unfortunately we were not geographically close to each other and our last visit was a long time ago. Whenever I would think of Gail I would think of her smile and her wit. She made everything light and happy. She was loving and generous to a fault. The world is in so much turmoil now. We desperately need more people like Gail. I wish she could have been in my life more often.

Although I knew Jim and Gail a bit as a child (Jim was my adult cousin), I became good friends with Krissy, same age as me, when we found we had mutual friends through school. Because of this friendship, I spent lots of time at the Bradley home, and have great memories of good times with the family. Gail was a Mom to anyone who walked through her door, treated everyone with love and compassion and had the most fun personality and infectious laugh. I am sure Gail's Heavenly job will be making things FUN! I am so sorry I won't be able to attend the service as I am out of town this week. I will be there in Spirit. Love all of you, especially Gail.

I have very fond memories of Gail from my Jr. High & high school days. One of my best friends from school was her daughter Kris & my little sister dated her son, Kyle. She was so comfortable to be around & always made me feel welcome in their home. So sorry I will not be able to attend the visitation or service due to work obligations, but the remaining family will be in my prayers for comfort as you grieve.

Gail was the smile i always saw as I entered work at MVP law in Lenexa. Gail was with us before computers and even before direct dial phones. She was the face and voice of our firm as every call went through her desk. I have a special memory of the yellow legal pad she had at her desk that contained Jokes she learned from and shared with callers. Sh will be miss by all at our law firm
