Hazel Fox Bradley, 74, of Asheville, went to be with the Lord on Monday, February 1, 2016, at her home, surrounded by family. Born in Yancey County, she resided in Buncombe County for most of her life.
Hazel was the daughter of the late Warren Fox, who died in World War II and Ziller Elkins. She was also preceded in death by her stepfather, John Elkins and three brothers, Wayne Fox, Jimmy Lee Elkins and Bruce Elkins.
Hazel leaves behind her loving family including her husband of 57 years, Carmen "Jim" Bradley; three daughters, Trenia McSwain (Louis) of Greensboro, NC, Martha Horne (Jeff) of Travelers Rest, SC and Gail Cabe (fiancé, Bradley) of Hendersonville; five grandchildren, Rachel Carter, Kris Owen, Carmen Chambers, Payton Chambers and Noah Cabe; three sisters, Mary Rash (Gerald) of Arkansas, Betty Elkins (Bobby) of Candler and Magdalene Briggs (Bruce) of Asheville, as well as lots of loving nieces and nephews.
A loving wife and homemaker, mother, sister, friend and aunt, she will be sorely missed by all, especially for her love and kindness and her chocolate cakes, fudge and good home cooking. Everyone who met her loved her.
Hazel attended Berea Baptist Church. She loved going to church and listening to gospel music.
The family would like to say a "Loving Thank You" to Thressa Cooper, a very special niece, for all the help and caring during the years. Hazel loved you as one of her own.

SORRY TO HEAR OF THE LOSS OF MS. HAZEL AND MY PRAYERS GO OUT TO THE FAMILY, I HAVE KNOWN MS. HAZEL SINCE I WAS BORN GOD BLESS THIS FAMILY AND MAY GOD BE WITH ALL OF YOU.
Jim,Trina,Martha and Gail, My heart goes out to all of you during this time. Your mother was very special to me. When I was taking care of my dad I would sit on the porch and every day we would look forward to the days that I would see your parents walking up the road and they would always stop. Your mom always hugged me and just watching our families spend time together showed me just how good friends they have always been. Jim loved your mom and was a good man he always stood by her side. My mother and your mom had a special friendship that continued even when they both were very sick. That always spoke volumes to me as the type of person our mothers were. They were strong women and went through a lot but managed to raise their children and see their beautiful grand children grow what a blessing! May God be with all of you during this time. My love and prayers are with each and every one of you.
Trenia and Racheal,
My deepest sympathy for the loss of your Mother/Grandmother. You know she is in a better place free from all disease and sickness. May the memories of your loved one give your comfort during this difficult time
Jim Tom, Trenia, Martha, and Gail, I am so sorry for your loss. She was such a sweet soul and special person. I know that she is so happy being in Heaven and seeing her mother again and also being with our Jesus in Heaven.
