Nancy Bradham, 57, of Baroda, passed away at her home on Thursday, November 2, 2017, with her husband and her cats by her side. Nancy was born on November 3, 1959, to the late John and Anne Bergstedt in Benton Harbor, Michigan. After graduating from Coloma High School in 1977, Nancy went on to earn her Bachelor's Degree in Dietetics from Western Michigan University.

On September 9, 1995, Nancy wed Glen Bradham at a ceremony in St, Joseph; the two just celebrated 22 years of wonderful marriage. Nancy spent her life caring for others, her children, her patients at Lakeland and that continued on to her need to continue to help others. She began working at the Berrien County Health Department where she helped families with the WIC program. She was always making others laugh and enjoyed seeing everyone around her happy. When Nancy wasn't working or volunteering at her daughters' school you might have found her at the beach, home watching Food Network, antiquing, crafting, gardening, or just hanging out with her cats.
