Barbara Anne Bradley, 79, of Orlando, Florida, passed away on Sunday, August 9, 2026.
Barbara was born on October 26, 1946, in Chicopee/Framingham, Massachusetts, where she spent the first 30 years of her life. She was the cherished daughter of Ethel M. Lengieza and Alex Lengieza and the sister of Rick Lengieza, Mark Lengieza, and her beloved sister, Donna Lengieza.
Barbara worked for Lockheed Martin for 29 years and carried with her many treasured memories of the wonderful friendships she formed throughout her career.
Above all else, Barbara’s children were the driving force in her life. She was blessed with three children, Pamela Sanchez, Michael Greska, and Kimberly Reilly. She loved them dearly and would have done anything to see them happy.
For the last ten years of her life, Barbara made her home with her daughter Pamela and son-in-law Eucario Sanchez. Our family will always be grateful for the love, companionship, and devoted care Pamela and Eucario gave her during those years.
Barbara’s grandchildren brought tremendous joy to her life. She was a proud and loving grandmother to Drew Greska, Samantha Pimentel, and Selena Sanchez.
Barbara loved sunsets, her family and close friends, the thrill of finding a great bargain, Amazon deliveries, and life itself. She had a wonderful sense of humor, loved to laugh, and was always ready with a joke or a little playful mischief. She enjoyed giving advice, helping others prosper, and seeing the people she cared about doing well. Her grace, unwavering loyalty, and seemingly endless capacity for love were immeasurable. She will be remembered most for her devotion to her children and grandchildren and for the love she gave so freely.
Barbara was preceded in death by her parents, Ethel M. Lengieza—her beloved mother and best friend—and Alex Lengieza. More than anything, Barbara wanted to be reunited with her mother, and her family finds comfort in knowing they are together again.
She is survived by her children, Pamela Sanchez, Michael Greska, and Kimberly Reilly; her sons-in-law, Eucario Sanchez and Shaun Reilly; her daughter-in-law, Tina Greska; her grandchildren, Drew Greska, Samantha Pimentel, and Selena Sanchez; and her siblings, Rick Lengieza, Mark Lengieza, and Donna Lengieza.
A graveside celebration of Barbara’s life and burial will be held on Tuesday, September 8, 2026, at 12:00 p.m. at Oak Ridge Cemetery, 601 N. Johnson Avenue, Arcadia, Florida 34266. A celebration lunch and fellowship will follow at 12:45 p.m. at Giuseppe’s Brooklyn Italian Oven, 2135 Highway 17 SW, Arcadia, Florida 34266.
Those attending the graveside service or celebration afterward are invited to wear shades of blue in honor of Barbara’s favorite color.
In keeping with Barbara’s wishes, the family kindly requests that flowers not be sent to the funeral home. Those wishing to honor her memory may instead make a donation to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, a charity that was especially close to her heart.
Though she will be deeply missed, Barbara’s love will remain with her family always. Every beautiful sunset—and every good laugh—will remind us that she is still close and watching over us with the angels above.
