Nevis Bradicich
October 28, 1932 – December 5, 2022
Nevis Bradicich, born in Chicago on Oct. 28, 1932, passed away on Dec. 5, 2022, surrounded by close friends and family at Manatee Memorial Hospital in Bradenton, Fla.
Nevis was born to Steve and Pauline Bradicich and raised on the south side of Chicago. After growing up in Chicago, Nevis moved to Florida with her parents where she spent much of her time volunteering at local hospitals and working at the Straz Center for the Performing Arts. There she met wonderful friends, who described her as a warm and radiant friend with an infectious laugh.
After years of working, she retired in Sun City Center, and since Nevis viewed age as just a number, she would drive to the Walt Disney Parks to ride It’s a Small World for the 100th time and later stroll Epcot’s food and arts festivals, being the “big kid” her family and friends loved. When she wasn’t visiting Mickey Mouse, she was surrounded by close friends and family, watching Purdue football games, playing mahjong with friends and laughing about silly stories with relatives.
Although Nevis was referred to in many ways: a daughter, a sister, an auntie and a friend, all who loved her dearly will never forget her tenacity, wit and sense of humor.
Nevis is survived by her brother and wife, John and June Bradicich; her nephew, Mark Bradicich; her niece and husband, Julie and Jeff O’Connor; plus two great nieces, Taylor and Tara O’Connor.
A private family “Celebration of Life” will be held. In lieu of flowers, the family asks memorial donations be made to the Sun City Center Emergency Squad or to the Straz Center for the Performing Arts.
