Eileen Bradley was the youngest of three daughters born to Marguerite (Gallagher) Moran and Joseph Moran. She was a graduate of Kingston High School, and she briefly attended the Wyoming Seminary Dean School of Business. In her 20s, she lived in the New York City area and was employed as the executive secretary to the vice president of Fawcett Publishing Company in New York. She later moved back home to Kingston, PA to help care for her elderly father. In 1969, she married Alfred Yusinskas and had two daughters, Clare and Diane. In 1983, she and her husband decided to Americanize their last name, and they went to court to legally change their name from Yusinskas to Bradley. In the mid-1970s, she opened the Book Swap, a used book store that she ran with her sister Kay. It was located originally in Wyoming, PA. It later moved to Edwardsville, PA and a second branch opened in Scranton, PA. In the mid-1980s she opened the Silk Greenhouse in the West Side Mall in Edwardsville, PA. It closed after a few years of operation. She also worked as a data entry clerk for the Social Security Adminisration, and at the time of her death, she was employed as a ward clerk for the Veteran's Administration in Wilkes Barre, PA. She was a member of St. Ignatius Church, Kingston. She was also a CCD instructor for St. Ignatius Church. In late 1991, she was diagnosed with Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, the symptoms of which appeared some 4 years earlier, but were mistaken for allergies. She passed away after 2 months in the ICU unit at Geisinger Hospital in Danville. Eileen loved to travel. Although finances didn't allow much international travel, no more than a few months went by without her travelling to nearby cities, and every year she took her family to Florida. Eileen had a life-long love of books, which she passed on to her children. She dreamed one day of writing one herself, but that dream went unfulfilled. Eileen believed that she lived during one of the best times in history, and that she witnessed wonderful changes in society from her youth to adulthood.
