Linda Bradley

Linda Bradley, 81, of Idaho Falls, Idaho, passed away October 17, 2026, at her home surrounded by her children. She was under the care of Mountain View Hospital ICU Intermediary team and Eastern Idaho Hospice.

Linda was born December 12, 1944, in Idaho Falls, Idaho, to Parry Bair Preece and Lydia Talbot Preece. She grew up and attended schools in Idaho Falls and graduated from Idaho Falls High School where she was in the Tigerettes.

She married Jack Michael Hart in November 1967, and together they had seven children. They later divorced.

On October 31, 1986, she married Steven Bradley. Linda and Steve lived in Idaho Falls where they loved camping (sitting by the campfire at night was one of her favorite things), going horseback riding, and motorcycle riding.

She worked at the INL as a bus driver, in fact was one of the very first women hired in that role. After retirement from the INL, she worked for School District 91 and 93 as a bus driver. Mom made some of her best, life-long friends at all of these places. They had thousands of great adventures and they experienced a lot of life together.

Linda loved her dogs, kids, gardening, and horses. (Sometimes in that order!) She adored her 24 grandkids and 6 great grandkids. This summer she spent many wonderful moments in her pumpkin patch growing pumpkins for those great grandkids.

Linda is survived by her daughter, Taya Moore (Todd Moore dec., Rick Santos); son, Greg Hart (Lisa Hart); daughter, Holly Cole (Dwight Cole); daughter, Niki Hansen (Larry Hansen); daughter, Angie Gibbens (Eddie Wellman); son, Cory Hart (Sara Hart); son, Sean Hart; stepson, Travis Bradley; and stepson, Spencer Bradley.

Linda was preceded in death by her husband, Steven Bradley; her parents, Parry and Lydia Preece; her brother, Larry Preece; her sisters, Penny Thomas and Brenda Summers; and her son-in-law, Todd Moore.

Linda was a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

A celebration of Life for Linda will be held at The Brickyard Event Center, 1025 S. Ammon Road, Ammon, Idaho, on November 22, 2026, from 11:00 a.m. until 1:00 p.m.
