Mary Bradshaw Obituary

Mary Pamela Bradshaw Mary Pamela Bradshaw passed away Tuesday, January 1st, 2019. Mary, Known as Pamela "Pam", was born to John and Mary Laurena Gress on May 6th 1939 in Richardton, North Dakota. Pamela and Ronald Westley Bradshaw married on May 28th, 1960. Ronald passed away July 13th, 1998. Pamela is survived by children Andrew Bradshaw (age 58) and spouse Linda, David Bradshaw (age 56) and spouse Robyn , Darla Bradshaw Lobb (age 53) and spouse Richard Lobb, and grandchildren Nicholas Lobb, Timothy Lobb, Ivy Bradshaw, and Victoria Bradshaw, Greg Opbroek, Tiffany Robinson, and Jonathyn Fredriksen. Pamela grew up in Spanaway WA and was well known for small bore rifle sharp shooting as well as baton twirling. As an adult, Pamela taught baton twirling. She organized and directed the Tacoma Starlighters Baton and Drum Corp, which participated in numerous parades around Washington from 1964 to 1974. The Tacoma Starighters grew very quickly and turned heads as they often took first place in local competition. After the Tacoma Starlighters disbanded, Pamela for several years contributed her parade experience as the parade chairman at "Harbor Holidays", an annual festival that was held in Gig harbor WA. Pamela worked off and on as a professional secretary and receptionist throughout her career. After the passing of her beloved husband, Pamela retired and shifted her interest into line dancing. She taught at the local YMCA in Gig Harbor and more recently at "The Hub" in Belfare, WA. Pamela will be dearly missed by all that were fortunate to know her. Private services will be held at a later date by close family and friends.
