She was a lifelong resident of her beloved Delmar, and was a daughter of the late Clarence Cooper Bradley and Mildred Anna Pilgrim Bradley. Mabel graduated from Delmar High School and in her early days, she worked as a medical lab tech before coming home to raise her family.

Many of her family and friends received hand-painted eggs painted with her favorite lighthouses or portraits that hang on their walls. Mabel was preceded in death by her husband, Wallace; her son Jeff; an infant sister, Barbara; and brothers, Jackie and Frank. She is survived by her children, Mike, Rennie, Stuart, Shawn, Genelle Byrd, Gordon; grandchildren, Jayme, Joanie, Kate, Carrie, Stacy, Joseph, Katie, Taylor, David, and Kendall; and many great-grandchildren. She is also survived by several nieces and nephews.
