Jennifer Lorraine Bradley, -AKA- “Mom” or “Jenny B” to most of you that knew her, passed away on June 21st 2015 in Miles City, Montana at the age of 54. Jenny was born in San Jose California and grew up in Fremont California. She was the eldest daughter of Barry E. Bradley and Darlene D. Artis. She had three brothers; Mike, Matthew and Quinton and a sister Stephanie, with whom she loved and cared about deeply.
Jenny was a free spirit in every sense of the word and always lived life on her own terms. She experienced many trials and tribulations over the years, but she was strong, always a fighter. She was a rebel at heart and loved to party and hang out with friends but most importantly she was a mom. She loved all of her children unconditionally.
Jenny was preceded in death by her mother Darlene, the man that we all knew as “Papa”, Mike McKague, Patty McKague, Ted Morrow, Randy Clouse and her old friend Jim. Jenny is survived by her father; Barry Bradley, Stepmother Florence Bradley, her siblings; Mike, Mathew & Quinton Bradley, Stephanie McKague, and stepsister Michelle Mabelle her children; Jason(Stacey) Ramirez, Joshua(Justine) Ramirez, Andrea(Ben) Recla and AJ(Sam) Gazzillo “Boogers”, her grandchildren; Braden Clauson, Anthony, Alyssa, Breanna Ramirez and Kaylee Recla.
She was a beautiful person both inside and out, always loved and took care of the lost souls that she met along the way. With all the extended family and close friends it’s simply not possible to list everyone, but know she loved you immensely. She loved cruising and jamming out to music; Led Zeppelin, Bad Company, Metallica, Aerosmith, Tupac, End Ever, just to name a few. She loved to be outdoors, especially on the river fishing and swimming with friends and family.
She spent the last years of her life with her eldest son and grandkids in Miles City. She enjoyed spending her days fishing and going to her grandson’s sporting events. Even on the days when she wasn’t feeling well, she rarely missed a game…she was his biggest cheerleader! She had a unique relationship with each of her grandchildren and enjoyed her time with them. She enjoyed hours of coloring with her granddaughter Breanna, whom referred to her as “Bo Bo”. She had the love of a child in her heart which shown through with her interactions with Alyssa and a shared love of “buddies” (particularly Card Sharkie) with her other granddaughter Kaylee. Braden, her eldest grandson, shares fond memories of “staying at the trailer with buzz light-year” and “shooting people with squirt guns inside of Dairy Queen”. She was also so proud of her grandson Anthony for making the All-Stars team and could not wait to cheer him on this upcoming weekend.
Jenny was far from perfect but she always remained true to herself with no apologies. She played hard and loved even harder. She truly was one-of-a-kind and will be loved and missed by so many. Mom would not have wanted you to mourn the loss of her life, but to celebrate it. And if you were ever fortunate enough to be “eeeeeeed” by mom, you know that she loved you like her own.

Jenny POOOOOP! The one with the Best Death Metal Growl Ever! I miss you so much, you taught me how to live in the moment and to always be myself, along with so much more that would be impossible to list. You were always there for me and always supported me and my dreams, I will never forget that you were at every voice recital and production I did while I was in Billings… I loved hearing your crazy, Fawesome stories, and hearing about the life you lived it sounded like such an adventure, it inspired/inspires me to look at my own life the same. ….I love you inside and out and will never forget, I like to think that you are flying around on a purple dragon somewhere crop dusting all of us. RIP my friend, you are loved.
peace n love

Condolences to Jenny’s children and grandchildren, brothers and sister and to all of her huge family of beloved friends. Jenny, you will always hold a place in my heart. I have thought of you often over the years and was so happy when we found each other again on facebook. I wish we would have had that reunion we spoke of. We would have partied DOWN! I will never forget how we would dive into the Goodwill bin and search for clothes to make costumes out of, and Sealy Bug, and our most awesome dance to Dream On in 9th grade. Every memory I have of you is a happy one. I love you and miss you. Rest in Peace ,Squiff <3
Randa Cline says

We were just getting to know each other. Even with the miles that kept us separated, I could tell that you were special, fun and a kind person. May the many family members already there welcome you. I’ll miss you cousin. I’m sure god blessed a wonderful person like you upon your arrival . . .
Amber Clauson Blakely says
Jenny was truley a selfless person. There where times she would slip me $100 Bill when I was a young single mother. I know that she didn’t have much and that meant so incredibly much to me. She would do anything to help someone in need. A lot of fun times were had and good memories made. Rip Jenny you will be missed.
Sandy Peaslee says
Jason, Josh, Andrea and AJ, I am so sorry to hear of your loss.
Jennifer was such a kind soul and loved you all so very much!
Teresa Cline-Gonzales says
My heart goes out to all her family and friends who are grieving her sudden loss. My heart is broken. We were very good friends when we were teenagers. I have never forgotten all the fun we had together. She is a very sweet person and will be missed by many. I was glad to have found her on facebook after all these years. Our conversations we had on facebook seem to start where we left off. I was looking forward to and hoping for a reunion in California. It was something she too wanted to do. Our reunion will be in heaven someday. She is truly an angel in heaven!
Synthia Barajas (Brewer) says
My deepest condolences to Jenny’s family. We met when we were 5. We would spend the summers swimming, tanning, playing hide and seek and sitting on her front lawn making macramé purses and talk about climbing Mission Peak. We would sneak out of our houses in the middle of the night, streak around the block and laugh at whoever might have seen us. We dared each other to smoke, kiss boys and drink. We would spend almost every Saturday night watching SNL and smoking cigarettes. We lost touch with each other as young adults but were very happy to reconnect later in life as grandmas. I wish we had the reunion we all spoke about. Jenny I am so sad you’re gone, rest in peace my friend you will always be in my heart.
Sandi & Jim Updyke says
Jason and family, So very sorry to hear about the sudden loss of your mom. May your memories help you through this difficult time. God bless you and if there is anything we can do don’t hesitate to ask.. Much Love, Sandi & Jim
Jan Munroe says
Jason and Andrea, so sorry for the loss of your mom. I visited with her several months ago in WalMart. Hadn’t seen her since you were in 6th grade Andrea but you looked so much like her I recognized her. She shared with me how you were doing. Lots of love there, Mrs. M.
David Cline says
Oh Jenny… When I found you on Facebook (thanks to my sister Terri) I was so excited to see you. Like old friends you search for, that were lost and Boom! Here they are but only on a screen and the net. You were so far away from Home here in California but it was fantastic to look in on you here on this contraption we call a computer and social media! I loved looking at pics of you and your Family… Kinda checking up and I looked forward to reading your comments and posts. Today, you are not lost or forgotten. I will always remember the fun we had partying, rocking out and thinking that all of us who hung out were the Ultimate Rock Stars! Your Angelic Soul will always guide those who follow your path in the end and one day, I hope to see you again… And I know I will visit you in your kingdom someday!
Melody Jungels says
Jason and Family,
I am so sorry for your loss. Your Mom was truly a beautiful and giving, caring soul and will leave a large void in this chaotic world. You and your family will be in my prayers. There is no rhyme or reason to the end of life, only that it is not our choice when we leave, it’s only God’s choice and that is the hardest and most consuming thing to understand. But know that she is now in Heaven and that God has his loving arms around her and that she no longer struggles or hurts and that she is smiling on us all with the sun shinning around all of us.

Jenny you will be missed, you had the kindest heart and beautiful soul! RIP, much love to all your friends and family that are hurting because you are gone!
Sheila Holbrook says
Jenny has been on my mind for the past three years. I sent a couple messages via Facebook, but got no response. It was just last night that I thought to Google her name. The last thing I expected to find was an obituary that was two and a half years old. We worked together at Perkins, and even became neighbors for awhile. She was one of my closest friends. I had started to write a work of fiction in 2011, and one of the main characters was based on her. I read what I had written up to that point, and she loved it. In fact, she prodded me to write more so she could find out what was going to happen. In fact, that was one of the things I wanted to tell her. That I was going to be working on it again. And I shall. I just had a different ending in mind. Until we meet again Jenny B. Love, Sheila
