Lola (Deanie) Brady

Sept. 6, 1927 – May 23, 2022

Lola (Deanie) Brady, the trunk of the family tree, passed away peacefully on Monday May 23rd at The Lane House.

She was 94, born on Sept. 6, 1927 to Phillip and Dorothy (Douglas) Wilson.

She married Carl Campbell in 1943 with whom she had two daughters, Linda Sue and Rebecca Joann. He died in 1955. She later married Eddie Brady and they opened their home and hearts to include another daughter (Kim Renee). They later divorced.

She retired from IMPEX and later worked for Dickerson’s liquor store where she enjoyed relating to her regular customers and actually received minor injuries during a robbery (her claim to fame for some time!) She was active in the Ladies Auxiliary of the Moose Lodge and enjoyed making the rounds of the various clubs for their weekly “drawings” and maybe some later dancing with her longtime companion Sam Spore who also preceded her in death.

She loved her family unconditionally. Survivors include her daughter, Linda (Campbell) Herget of Chalmers; her grandsons, Brad and Robbie Hummel of Crawfordsville; granddaughter, Amber Rose (DJ) Blackford of Lebanon; brother, Duane Bryant of Florida; and several great grandchildren, great-great grandchildren, nieces and nephews.

Along with her parents and significant others, she is preceded in death by her daughter, Kim (Kingery) Nelson and Becky (Campbell) Smith; and grandson Jedediah Cody Kingery. Also preceding her are her siblings, Patricia Simpson, Charles Wilson and Phyllis Halford.

Funeral services will be 3:00 PM Saturday at Hunt & Son Funeral Hoe with visitation beginning at 1:00 PM. Burial will follow at Oak Hill Cemetery, Grant Ave.
