    Stratham, NH – Deborah (Debbie) Ann (Vozzella) Bradley, 45, passed away at home on February 6, 2010, surrounded by her loving family following a courageous battle with cancer. Debbie was born on September 4, 1964, and attended schools in Medfield, MA.
    For twelve years, Debbie worked for various companies including Gillette, Veratec, and BayBank. A beautiful woman, Debbie was voted Miss Petite Massachusetts in 1990 and was a runner-up in the national finals competition. However, it was Debbie’s inner beauty and engaging personality that attracted people to her.  
    In 1993, Debbie married her husband Bob Bradley. The couple had two beautiful children. Billy, born in 1995, was followed by daughter Aly in 1997. Debbie was an incredible wife and mother. She was very active in her church where she taught CCD and enjoyed sharing her faith with all of her students. Debbie also served as a classroom mother in school for both of her children.
    Debbie’s devotion to family was her priority in life. Her warmth, good humor, and zest for life naturally attracted many close friends over the years. Debbie enjoyed her time spent with family at their summer camp on Drews Lake in Linneus, ME.
    Debbie’s fiercely strong and unwavering Catholic faith provided the strength and courage she needed after her diagnosis. She demonstrated tremendous grace, dignity, and character during her year long battle. Debbie was truly an inspiration to all.
