Sheena “Sugar” Marie Powers Blanco- Bradley was born to the late Dominador Labian Blanco, and Brenda Sue Blanco March 18, 1986. Sheena departed her earthly life Monday, August 7, 2023.
If Sheena was known for anything, it would be for her bright eyeliners, and her charisma. Sheena was the type to go into a crowd of people she didn’t know, and come out with them all being her friends. She was a sweet, and caring person that definitely lived up to her childhood nickname, Sugar. The perfect name for a woman that would put her family first, and give her last to a complete stranger. Sugar was always able to carry a smile on her face, and find a way to be optimistic in the most unforgiven and bleak times. Times that would normally warrant stress on a person, Sugar would instead find a way to bring light to the situation.
Sugar was a fashionista that loved apparel that made her stand out. If you didn’t see Sugar with her white or green eyeliner, then you would have seen her wearing some form of leopard print. With her long hair in a ponytail, and laid down over her left shoulder, you can usually catch Sugar stroking her hair ever so gently, as if her fingers and nails were her natural born hairbrush.
As a mother and a wife, no one came before her household. Sugar was known for popping up at her kids’ school events and field trips, even without them knowing. Sugar kids would mention how overprotective she was of them. So much so that they would keep things away from her. Sugar kids would joke and imitate their mom by saying things like, ” These are my kids! Don’t mess with my babies!”.
And with a great mother comes a great wife. Loyal to one man for years. So much so, to brand the phrase, ” Team Bradley”. No one came before Sugar’s late husband James Bradley. A true protector of her husband, Sugar always made sure her husband was happy, comfortable, and tried to ensure he had a healthy lifestyle.
Sugar is survived by her children James Bradley, Leonardo Blanco, Brenda Blanco, and her siblings Dominador Blanco, Mackcarpio Blanco, Jesse Blanco, Emmanuel Blanco, Daniel Blanco, Felicia Blanco, Raynaldo Blanco, Samuel Blanco, Imelda Blanco, Arthur Blanco, Anamarie Blanco, a plethora of nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends.
Services for Sheena “Sugar” Marie Powers Blanco-Bradley will be held at Fraser Funeral Home on Saturday August 19, 2023, located at 8168 Normandy Blvd. Jacksonville, Fl. 32221, at 11:00am. Public viewing will take place Friday August 18, 2023 at 5:00pm – 8:00pm.

She is absolutely beautiful, her smile and love was contagious where ever she went. When she entered a room, the room became filled with her out going personality , I would describe her like the movie Peter pan just think happy thoughts, that’s sugar she will always be that happy thought like a fairy . Bright, funny, loving, and the best anyone got to know. Rest Easy Sugar until we meet again hold Heaven for us, just give us a sign every now and then you check up on us down here. Family until for ever
