      OBITUARY

      Jonesboro [AR] Sun; 25 Aug 2011

      SENATH, Mo. Dr. Omer E. Bradsher, 81, formerly of Paragould, died Tuesday, Aug. 23, 2011, at his home in Senath, Mo.

      He was born Oct. 7, 1929, at Little Rock, the son of the late Omer Ethridge Sr. and Ida Carpenter Bradsher. He was also preceded in death by his first wife, Rose Howerton Bradsher; brother, Robert Bradsher; and sisters, Martha Joffe and Betty Montgomery.

      He practiced family medicine in the Paragould area for more than 40 years. He received his doctorate of medicine from the University of Arkansas Medical School in Little Rock in 1958. His undergraduate education was completed at Hendrix College.

      Dr. Bradsher served his community at the local, state and national levels. In the 1960s he was heavily involved in both gubernatorial and presidential elections. He served as a delegate to the 1968 Republican National Convention. In the 1980s and 90s, he served on the Greene County Quorum Court.

      Dr. Bradshers wisdom and compassion reached many lives. His patients, co-workers and friends were all touched by his guidance and care. In his later years his most cherished moments in his career were caring for homebound patients in their homes.

      He was a dedicated family man, a devout Christian and was extremely proud of his birthplace and heritage. He was a U.S. Marine veteran and a member of First United Methodist Church in Senath.

      He is survived by his wife, Barbara Bradsher of the home; children, Brad Bradsher of Little Rock, Todd Bradsher of Peach Orchard, Julia Bradsher of Kalamazoo, Mich., Jana Bagwell of Vicksburg, Miss., Regina Franks of Bastrop, La., Randal Gibson of Senath and Vickie Moylan of Paragould; sister, Lucie Smith of Naples, Fla.; special cousin, Freddie Webb Graham-Eller; 15 grandchildren; and 11 great-grandchildren.

      The family will receive friends from 6-8 tonight at Heath Funeral Home.

      His life will be celebrated at 11 a.m. Friday in Heath Colonial Chapel with the Rev. Neal Avirette and Ron Dunavin officiating. Burial will follow in Harveys Chapel Cemetery.

      Memorials may be made to Central Arkansas Radiation Therapy Institute (CARTI) Foundation, P.O. Box 55011, Little Rock 72215.
