Marcia Bradley
January 10, 1939 ~ January 1, 2024
Marcia Jane Bradley, 84, of Marion, Iowa, passed away unexpectedly on Monday, January 1, 2024. No services are planned. Her family invites friends to please privately celebrate Marcia's memory in your own way, as she will be with us all in spirit. Arrangements by Stewart Baxter Funeral & Memorial Services, Cedar Rapids, Iowa.
Marcia was born in Cedar Rapids, on January 10, 1939, the daughter of John Truman and Ruth Eloise (Oetting) Young. She graduated from Franklin High School in 1957. She was united in marriage to Roger McCullough on February 17, 1979, in Cedar Rapids.
Marcia was the most precious soul. She was the heart and soul of her family and filled their lives with love, wisdom and unforgettable memories. She adored her grandchildren and spent countless hours loving, teaching, and playing with them. She taught them that family does not come from blood but from love. She taught them all the joy of blowing bubbles, earning her the nickname, Grandma Bubbles. She loved unconditionally and gave all of herself to her family. Grandma Bubbles would light up any room with her playfulness and laughter. Her unwavering support and strength meant the world to her family and she will be greatly missed.
Marcia is survived by her husband, Roger; children, David (Leah) Bradley and Melissa (Jamie) Scherkenbach; grandchildren, Adam (Abbie) Bradley, Sam (Danielle) Scherkenbach, Nic Scherkenbach, Rean (Christine) Cuary, Jaya Scherkenbach, Amanda Bradley, Ryalie (Matt) Briles, Maya Scherkenbach, Hale Onstad, and Isabelle Bradley; and great-grandchild, Leightyn Bradley.
Marcia is preceded in death by her parents; brother, John T. Young Jr.; and sister, Deborah Sue Keller.

One word describes Marcia…..LOVE……she loved her family, grandkids and friends of the family. She would make a comment on my social media page sending her love to my family when we would post something. We will miss her and prayers to the Bradley family.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
Marcia was so amazing! She was an incredible friend to my mom and was known as Grandma Bubbles to my girls! I loved Marcia and the way her laughter and spirit lit up the room! I will miss her smiles and genuine joy she had for all the people she loved!
Thinking of you all and praying that Gods love, comfort and peace be with you now and in the days ahead. Love you
I remember Melissa and Marcia coming to visit me at the hospital after having Elianna and both my girls calling her Grandma Bubbles. She was an amazing friend to my Mom and always had a smile on her face. She showed so much love towards everyone regardless if they were family or not.
Melissa, Sending you love, hugs, and prayers for comfort and peace for you and your family as you go through this difficult and sad time. Love you!
Melissa and David, you are in our thoughts and prayers. Your mom had a great laugh.
I remember getting to know Marcia when Melissa and I were in college. She had a special spark that would light up the room and get us laughing. I remember being at her home and experiencing all the beautiful plants she had and I could feel the warmth of her kindness and caring nature. She was inspiring and beautiful! 💕
