Dian Bradley

Dian Freck Bradley, 77, of Asheville, passed away Wednesday, December 4, 2024, at Hospice of the Carolina Foothills. Born April 21st, 1947 she was the daughter of the late Hilton Revells Freck and Mary Louise Lynch Hamilton. Dian found her true calling in the bustling world of restaurants, where she poured her heart and soul into her work. Her passion for cooking and hospitality led her and her sister Bessy to open "Two Sisters Cafe." Through her culinary creations, she brought people together creating many fond memories. Dian also worked diligently at Ingles for the last ten years cutting fruits and vegetables before retiring. Dian could also be caught doting on her nieces and nephews, always ready to lend a helping hand or offer words of encouragement. Her love extended beyond her immediate family to include her friends and the community, where she was known for her willingness to help with family weddings, joyfully contributing to the decorations and catering, and ensuring each event was filled with love and laughter. A selfless soul, Dian embodied the true spirit of giving. Her generosity knew no bounds, and she was often described as someone who would give you the shirt off her back. Her compassion and kindness left an indelible mark on all who were fortunate enough to know her.

She is survived by her daughter Windee Duckett; five sisters Linda Mitchell, Jeanne Luther, Nancy Boydston, Bessy Farmer, and Jennifer Failla; a brother Rick Freck; and numerous nieces, nephews, great-nieces, and great-nephews.

In addition to her parents, she is preceded in death by a son Michael "Chip" Bradley; and a brother-in-law Ronnie Boydston.

There will be a funeral service held on December 21st beginning at 11:00 AM at St. Luke's Episcopal Church, 219 Chunns Cove Rd, Asheville, NC 28805. A burial will follow the service and a time for visiting with the family.
