Sondra Bradfield

Sondra Jo Bradfield, affectionately known by all as Grandma, was born in Wichita, KS, on April 1, 1957, and recently resided in Perryville, Arkansas. A woman of adventurous spirit and contagiously funny demeanor, Sondra was a beacon of light in the lives of everyone fortunate enough to know her. Her sense of humor and zest for life were infectious and left indelible impressions on those around her. As a registered nurse, she dedicated a significant part of her life to providing care and comfort to those in need, a testament to her empathetic and nurturing spirit.

Grandma's inspiring resilience and talent were evident in every aspect of her life. Whether she was immersed in the challenge of assembling a puzzle, exploring the exotic beauty of Turks and Caicos, or shopping for her beloved collection of shoes, she did it with an admirable tenacity and joy that was truly her own. A well-known bibliophile, she found solace and inspiration in the written word, often accompanied by her cherished dog Rosie. But above all, her greatest joy in life was her family. Sondra's love for her family, particularly her grandchildren, shone brighter than anything else, making the twinkle in her eyes.

The light of Sondra's life was her beloved children, Naomi Wyllia, John Wyllia, Andrew Wyllia all of Perryville, Kelli Wyllia of Hattieville, Tabitha McKenzie of Perryville, Sisters: Liz Poston (Chris) of Missouri, Nancy Johnson of Oklahoma, Brothers: Doug Burris and Bruce Burris of Kansas, Grandchildren: Braedon Wyllia of Perryville, Amanda Arnold and Austin Scrapper, 8 great grandchildren, along with many other family and friends who survives her. She was preceded in death by her parents William Burris and Laura Tweedy Burris, brother, John Burris, grandson, Blake Wyllia, and sister in law: Suzanne Sawyer Burris. As the acclaimed poet Maya Angelou once said, "I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel." This sentiment rings true for all who knew and loved Sondra. Her life was a tapestry of love, laughter, and meaningful connections that will continue to inspire us all.
The family wants to thank Hospice Home Care of Conway for all the care they provided for Mrs. Sondra during this illness. .
