Vanlandingham

Lynda Rae (Bradford) Vanlandingham, 77, of Blanchard, Oklahoma, passed away on Thursday, September 29, 2022.  Lynda, along with her identical twin sister, Brenda, was born on February 23, 1945, in Heber Springs, Arkansas.  They were the third and fourth of six children to be born to James Hughes and Emma Lee (Gibson) Bradford.  Lynda married George Vanlandingham in  Arizona on March 31, 1963.  Married for over 59 years, they have been an example of love and commitment.

Lynda was a loving wife and mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother.  While raising her children, she was the neighborhood "mom", a scout troop leader, sports and cheer mom, and school librarian.  Throughout her life she was loving, supportive and encouraging to those she cared for.  Lynda retired from Stock Exchange Bank, Woodward, OK, after 34 years of service.  She enjoyed worshipping at Woodland Hills Baptist Church, reading, crafting, and playing games.  But what she loved most was spending time with her family and friends.

Lynda was preceded in death by her parents, James and Emma; sister, Nita Bradford Piper; and brother, Robert "Bob" Bradford.  She is survived by her husband, George; daughter, Redonna Roys of Blanchard; son, David Vanlandingham and his wife Heidi of Blanchard; grandsons, Tanner and Logan Roys and Connor and Rylan Vanlandingham; great-granddaughter, Aubree Mercer-Roys; sisters, Brenda Ruedas (Hector) of Thatcher, Arizona, and Donna Goth (Harvey) of Scottsdale, Arizona; brother, James "Jim" Bradford (Cheri) of Santa Fe, New Mexico, and numerous other family and friends.
