Angie Kay (Bradley) Kelson

Angie Kay (Bradley) Kelson, 51, of Nashville, TN, a beloved daughter, sister, partner, aunt, cousin, dog mom, and friend to many, passed away on Friday, August 23, 2024. She was born in Lawrenceburg, Indiana on July 27, 1973, the daughter of late Wesley Bradley, Jr. and Carolyn (Kappes) Bradley.

Survivors include her mother, Carolyn, her partner, Heather Tober, along with Heather’s daughters, Mallory and Bea. Also surviving are sisters, Sandy Meyer (Tim) and Brenda Benning (Greg). Her nieces and nephews, Amanda, Dylan, Codey, Kelsey, Colton, Taylor, Isabel and Hannah, along with many great nephews and nieces. She was preceded in death by her father, Wesley Bradley, Jr., and her brother, Jeffrey Lee Bradley, along with many beloved uncles, aunts and cousins.

After graduating from Jac-Cen-Del High School in 1991, Angie went on to graduate from Indiana State University. Angie enjoyed a successful career as a Senior Consultant with SPS Commerce. Angie lived a life that reflected her true self, full of love for her pets, deep connections with those near and far, and an infectious energy that lit up the room. Her passion for life, her humor in the little things, and the joy she spread are gifts that will remain with us. She taught us to embrace life fully and to find laughter, even in the smallest moments. We will continue to tell her favorite stories, make her favorite jokes, sing her favorite songs, and occasionally talk to her as if she’s still right there beside us—because, let’s be honest, she wouldn’t want it any other way. In memory of Angie, the family requests that you perform a random act of kindness or make someone laugh today—preferably both. Stratton and Karsteter Funeral Home will hold a Celebration of Life on Saturday, August 31, from 10am-12pm with a special remembrance service beginning at noon. We invite all family and friends to attend where tears and laughter will equally be shared. Memorials may be made to Golden Retriever Rescue & Community Education “GRRACE” is a not-for-profit serving Indiana, staffed entirely by volunteers, and dedicated to Golden Retrievers in need.
