Justine Bradbury
June 11, 1990 - June 10, 2026
Passed away peacefully in the loving arms of her mother, at Carbonear General Hospital on Wednesday, June 10, 2026, Justine Bradbury, of Freshwater Placentia Bay.
Justine was predeceased by her grandparents Josephine and John Caul, step-father Ray Connors, aunt Ethel Flynner, uncle John Caul, and father Kevin Bradbury.
Leaving to mourn are her mother Dorenia Caul, brothers Christopher and Robert, niece Melody, nephews Bastien and Dougal, as well as many aunts, uncles and cousins from the Caul and Bradbury families. She also leaves behind her best friend Lucinda "Luu" Barry, who stayed close by her side, her special friend Alfred Upshall who shared her love of movies and adventure, her well-loved and cared-for fur babies, as well as many extended family members and friends.
Justine was sweet, caring, outgoing and artistic. Her physical limitations never held her back from living a full and beautiful life. She loved animals of all kinds, and caring for her dogs, cats and rats brought her a lot of joy and happiness. Her artistry came through in the things she made like her sun catchers, unique jewelry pieces, and different types of keepsakes that she was able to share with others.
She loved a good adventure, whether it was on the movie screen, in a video game, camping with her family and friends or competing for gold. She was a proud member of the Special Olympics, enjoyed her races win or lose, and made many unforgettable friends during practices and competitions. She never missed a party, if at all possible, and everyone loved seeing her coming in through the doors.
From the first moments of her life, Justine was a fighter. She was tiny, but she was strong and fierce, and she gave everyone who loved her extra meaning in their lives. She passed the day before her 37th birthday. Every one of these days was a miracle and will forever be treasured by her family and friends, near and far.
Special thanks to her aunt Gertie and cousin Michelle for being such a huge support and presence in her whole life and over these last days. Also, the family would like to acknowledge and thank the nurses and staff at Carbonear General Hospital for giving her comfort, reassurance and peacefulness over the last days; and to Dr. Tootoni for giving her attention and dignity above and beyond the call of duty.
Funeral arrangements have been entrusted to Maher’s Funeral Home, Placentia. Visitation will take place on Saturday from 12pm to 5pm and 7pm to 9pm. Funeral Service will take place 11am on Sunday, June 14th at Maher’s, with cremation to follow.
