Dr. Lynda Bradley-Vacco

Bradley-Vacco, Dr. Lynda of Blaine, born March 31, 1965, entered into eternal life on August 2, 2015 after a battle with cancer that she fought with faith, grace, & courage. Lynda is survived by her loving husband, Michael Vacco and their children Bradley, Michaela, & Benjamin; mother Mary Bradley; sister Lori (Rick) Rick Carlson; brother David (Tammy) Bradley, all of Marquette, MI, and many nieces & nephews. Lynda was preceded in death by her father Richard Bradley. Lynda will be deeply missed by her family & friends. Her smile, her deep abiding faith and optimism were an inspiration to all. They were exhibited throughout her life, and epitomized by her motto: 'God is good, All the time'. Lynda's biggest joys in her life were her husband & 3 children. Watching their children grow and enjoy life helped her through many difficult times. on family vacations to Marquette and Chicago she loved sharing the children's prowess in sports, karate and their musical abilities to her extended family. They loved to travel to historical locations to share new things and watch their children grow & learn. Spending time with her family was her greatest happiness. She also enjoyed cooking (her mocha brownies were out of this world and will be missed by many), and spending time in the sunroom surrounded by the laughter of her children and the smell of the flower gardens that gave her great pleasure. Dr. Vacco (more familiarity known as 'Doc Voc' to her students), conducted the Bethel University Orchestra, taught private violin & viola instruction and string pedagogy, coached chamber ensembles, and served as an instructor in the general education curriculum. Dr. Vacco frequently served as a clinician and adjudicator throughout Minnesota and participated as a violist in numerous Twin Cities performing ensembles, most notably VocalEssence, Minnesota Dance Theater, Minnesota Chorale, Minnesota Sinfonia, and Minnesota Opera. Her musical career included accompanying artists such as Josh Groban, The Three Tenors, Vince Gill, Amy Grant, Prince & Led Zeppelin. The musical accomplishments she took the most pride in, however, was her students. Dr. Vacco's love of music and teaching inspired many throughout her career and these relationships are the ones she cherished the most. In lieu of flowers, memorials are preferred.
