At birth, she was named Stella Ray Blair, and there is a Birth Certificate as proof. She was named after a friend of her mother, but shortly thereafter there was a falling out between them and she was re-named Florence. Her parents never had any money, and it was difficult to keep the family together. Her father was a photographer by trade, but had trouble finding work in the early years. At one point, during the Depression years, they left Plattsburgh and moved to Albany for a while, and then to Syracuse to find work. And then they gave up, packed all their belongings into a taxi and went back to Plattsburgh. She and her mother stayed with her mother's brother. Her father slept wherever he could, including on an occasional pool table down at the local pool hall downtown. Later, a local photographer wanted to open up his own studio, and was looking for an assistant. Her father was one of two men who applied for the job. This photographer applied for a bank loan to start his studio, and the banker asked about whom else would be working there, and was told about the two applicants. The banker said the loan would be granted on one condition – that Harold Blair be selected for the job, and he was. He was well-known to be an honest man and a hard worker and a very good photographer. From that point on, her life stabilized there in Plattsburgh. She graduated from high school there and got a job as a telephone operator for a few years until she met and married Donald Bradrick in 1943. Their first child, Jack, was born in 1946, and they moved to Oregon 10 days later. From there they moved to Wisconsin a year later, and back to Plattsburgh again one year after that. They stayed there for about 5 years and had a second son, Donald (Scott) in 1950, and then moved to Natick, Massachusetts in 1953. In 1954, they moved to Mankato, Kansas, where Don had grown up, and where his family lived. But in 1955 they moved back to Plattsburgh again because her father's health was not good. They moved in with her parents – a family of four in one bedroom and her parents in the other bedroom. In addition, there was only a small living room and a kitchen. Her father died two years later in 1957, and so they sold that small house and bought one which was a little bigger and stayed there until the children were grown. Her mother died during this period, in 1972, and they saw no reason to stay in Plattsburgh any longer, and moved to Salinas, California for a while, and then down near San Diego. Don died in 1986 but she stayed in the area until such time as it was becoming difficult to look after herself, and then moved to New Jersey to live with her son Jack and his family. They lived there for several years and in 1999 moved to Colorado, near Denver, for a year and then moved back to NJ a year later. And then 3 years after that, they moved to Pennsylvania. She survived open-heart surgery when she was about 78, and colon cancer when she was about 80, but didn't have the strength to overcome lung cancer at age 83.
