Gracelynn R. Bradbury, passed away peacefully with her family nearby, November 24th, 2023. She was born November 15th, 2023, the daughter of Miles G. and Kapricemari B. (Tompkins) Bradbury.
Gracelynn was born at 23 weeks and 4 days at 9:45pm by emergency c-section. Weighing 1lb 3oz. Because she was born so early, she is considered a micro preemie. Her lungs were frail requiring her to be intubated and breathed with the help of the ventilator. Her heart started to struggle due to a hole in her heart called a PDA. She was at high risk for brain bleed requiring constant supervision of the NICU team at Northern Light Eastern Maine Medical Center. She was as stubborn as her parents while fighting for her life in the 9 days spent in NICU. Gracelynn was loved and will be remembered by her mom and dad as she was the light of our world.
Surviving in addition to her parents, are her grandmothers, Mary Tompkins and Terrylyn Bradbury; and many other family members. She is predeceased by her grandfather, Ted Bradbury.
A memorial service will be held 2PM, December 16th, at the Tri-town Baptist Church, 119 Main Street, East Millinocket. Those who wish to remember Gracelynn in a special way may make donations to either Friends of The Mountain, P.O. Box 307, 447 Ski Resort Road, Greenville Junction, ME, 04442 or to Empty Arms of Greater Bangor, 6 State Street, Suite 300, Bangor, ME, 04401.
