Annette Lynn (Talarico) Bradley

August 7, 1959 – November 10, 2025
We celebrate the life, death, burial, resurrection, and ascension of Jesus Christ and the welcoming home of his daughter, Annette Bradley. Because of what Jesus did, she lives today to the glory of God the Father in heaven.
Annette had the biggest heart. That didn’t stop her from having a bit of an ornery streak! She enjoyed giving gifts, crafting, dessert making, and trips to Colorado.
Love of family was a priority for Annette. Gathering for holidays with good food and company was her greatest joy. She loved her furry family just as much! Most recently, her dog, Polar Bear, brought her much happiness in their days together at home.
She was a prayer warrior for her family and friends. She boldly stood in the truth of God’s Word. We often spoke of when her faith would turn to sight. She longed to see her savior, and also her husband and so many others whom she missed dearly. The first thing she wanted to do upon her arrival was to RUN in the heavenly fields. Though she will be deeply missed, we praise God for the assured hope we have in seeing her again as believers.
Annette is survived by her father, Joseph Talarico; her children: Angela Petersen-McDonald (Andy), Christian Bradley, and Melissa Sabatka (Ryan); her grandchildren: Emily Pokorny, Dawson Bradley, Gavin Pokorny (fiance: Samantha Sutton), McKenna Sabatka, Hannah Bradley, Asher Petersen, Roselynn Pokorny, Kayla Sabatka, Nina Petersen, Zander Pokorny, and Kellan McDonald; great-grandchild: Clayton Sanchez-Bradley, her siblings: Lora Waldron (Wally), Troy Talarico (Mona), Lucy Sport (Rex), Todd Talarico (Venus), and Kim Widmark; her nephews and niece: Matthew Chase (daughter: Jacqueline), Anthony Chase (Jenna & children: Ezekiel and Hadassah), and Leia Widmark. She is further survived by many other special friends and loved ones, including her dear friend since kindergarten, Peggy Bachmann.
She was preceded in death by her mother, Nina Widmark and stepfather, John Widmark; her husband: Gary David Bradley; her brothers: John Widmark Jr. and James Widmark.
A private family gathering will be held to celebrate Annette’s life. We encourage everyone to gather together with their families and loved ones and hold them especially close.
Our family would like to extend our deepest gratitude for the love and support given to by her by her care family at the Grace Space in Lincoln, NE in the last fews months of Annette’s life. We ask that any memorial gifts would be sent to The Paul and Neva Grace Foundation or the Dreamweaver Foundation in honor of Annette.
