From Gregory Gay, who received the information from a friend in the Chesapeake Choral Union of the National Convention of Gospel Choirs and Choruses (NCGCC):
On Friday, May 21, 2010, Mrs. Alberta Bradford went home to be with the Lord.
A celebration of life for Mrs. Bradford will be held Friday, May 28, 2010 at the Jones Tabernacle Baptist Church. The church is located at 2100 West Baltimore Ave., Baltimore, Maryland.
Viewing – 9:00 am to 11:00 am
Homegoing Services – 11:00 am
Let’s pray for continued strength and comfort for her daughters Lisa and Denise.
Mrs. Bradford shared many hours of great gospel music with the Chesapeake Choral Union. As the union’s first Minister of Music, she shared the good old songs of her late husband, Mr. Alex Bradford, as well as the songs that she was inspired to write.
In addition, she was a noted pianist and played for several groups, including Bradford’s group, the Stars of Faith, and traveled with the cast of Black Nativity.
The Cheseapeake Choral Union has been asked to sing at Mrs. Bradford’s homegoing services this Friday. Our attire will be black, we ask that you come help us celebrate the life of such a great woman.
