Theodora Catherine Bradley
February 18, 1961 - September 21, 2026
It is with profound sorrow we announce the sudden passing of Theodora Catherine Bradley after a brief but courageous battle with cancer at the age of 65 years.
Theo as she was fondly known by, was born February 18, 1961 in Jasper to Earl & Marge Dungate. She was the second daughter of 4 children; Theresa, Theo, Don, Scott. In 1972, Earl was transferred to Olds, Alberta where Earl was promoted to staff sergeant with the RCMP. The family resided in Olds where she grew up with her siblings taking part in many sports and community activities.
Theo attended grade school in Olds and furthered her education at the Olds College taking the Floriculture course. She resided in Calgary where she became employed with Canadian Western Natural Gas. She welcomed their first son Kelly in 1986 and second son Gregory in 1990. Living most her life in Calgary, she made the move to Red Deer once she completed her Land Agent course once again attending Olds College. This was a new beginning for her that she enjoyed immensely.
Theo truly had a heart of gold. She was always looking out for others. Her home was filled with love, home cooked meals, baking and the best snacks!! She loved spending time with family and friends. She met her soulmate Kelly Tucker and together they made many memories travelling, camping, golfing, fishing and visiting friends. Kelly was a shining light that came into her life and truly made her the happiest she had ever been. Theo was blessed to expand her family with Kelly’s gaining more sons, daughters, grandchildren and great grandchildren. She was very good at keeping in contact with friends old and new. She was so fortunate to keep old friends from high school meeting up with them at least once a year.
When her health began to fail, she fought the fight with determination, courage, strength and positivity. “Theo, you fought the good fight, you have finished your course, you have kept the faith. You will be in the hearts of many forever. We will think of you when the daisies bloom, the sun shines on the golf course, the fish bite on the ocean, the apples fall from the trees and the campfire is warm.”
Theo will be lovingly remembered and forever cherished by the love of her life Kelly Tucker; beloved sons Kelly and Greg Bradley; brother Don (Nicky) Dungate; nephews Darcy and Tyler (Megan) Davis; niece Madeline Dungate; step-children Kelsey (Darlene)Tucker, Chris Tucker (Kym Simard); Kimmy (Andy)Freeman; Tina Ross (Grant McDougall); numerous step-grandchildren and great-grandchildren and a huge abundance of many, many friends who loved her immensely.
She was predeceased by her mother Marge; sister Theresa; father Earl; brother Scott as well as numerous other family members.
A Celebration of Life will be held on Saturday April 17, 2027 at 2:00 p.m. the Royal Canadian Legion, Branch #105, Olds.

Condolences to Theo's family.
I worked with Theo at Alberta Transportation, Theo was a wonderful lady with so much personality, she always had a chuckle no matter how it was going as she had an ability to see all sides of a situation. Theo always showed compassion and was so understanding as a coworker and to her clients.
I worked with Theo at CWNG and played slo-pitch with her for many years. My thoughts are with Kelly, Greg and all her family during this trying time. Rest Easy my friend.
Forever loved and always remembered for your smile, laughter, kindness and instantly being part of the family.. love to Kelly and all the family who loved you ❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏
