LINCOLNTON, GA - Mrs. Elsie Bradford Politano, 96, entered into eternal rest on Tuesday, September 24, 2024 at her residence on the Augusta Hwy.

Mrs. Politano was the wife of the late Alfred T. Politano. They made their home in Augusta, GA prior to her moving back to Lincoln County after his death. Mrs. Politano was a member of St. Mary's on the Hill Catholic Church and attended Martin's Crossroads and Pine Grove Methodist Churches in Lincoln County.  Mrs. Politano retired from Thrifty Rexall Drugs in Augusta, Georgia. She loved all animals and made it her mission to feed as many stray animals as she could on a daily basis. Her legacy, exemplified by hard work, kindness, and service to others, was an inspiration to all who knew her.

Growing up in Lincoln County, she was the daughter of the late Gordon Theodore Bradford and the late Pauline Danner Bradford. Mrs. Politano was one of 11 children. She was preceded in death by her siblings, Christine Palmer, William Thomas Bradford, Sallie Helen Long,  Clarence Bradford, Rosa Lee Blanton, Mafelda Arnett, Bettie Jo Luking, Gordon Theodore Bradford Jr. , and Alice Faye Cable.

Survivors include her sister, Bobbie Wilkinson, brother-in-law William Luking, Reidsville, NC, sister-in-law Clarissa Bradford, Florence SC, numerous nieces and nephews. Her departure leaves an unfillable void and she will be missed by all.

A memorial service will be officiated by Rev. Paul C. Reviere at Pine Grove United Methodist Church on Saturday, October 6, 2024, at 11 am. Dr. Steve Luking and Dr. Scott Luking will make remarks. Dr. Benny Pate will close the service with a prayer at the graveside.

Contributions to LC Paws, a cause close to her heart, are appreciated. Memorial donations may be made to LC Paws, P.O. Box 84 Lincolnton, GA 30817.
