Mabel Bradford Obituary
Mabel was born in Dexter, April 5, 1926, the daughter of Clifford W. and Laura E. (Hatch) Parker.
She graduated from Guilford High School and attended Farmington Normal School. She married Phillip T. Bradford on April 15, 1947 in Newport. He predeceased her on July 11, 1991.
Mabel was very active in the Cub Scouts serving as a den mother, when her boys were growing up. She worked at the school hot lunch program in Newport for several years.
In 1967, Mabel and Phillip moved to the Wiscasset area during the time Phillip was employed at Bath Iron Works. During this time, she was employed as a nurses aide at the Bath hospital, a job she had done for many years in Dexter and Pittsfield. Mabel moved back to Newport in 1992 following the death of her husband.
Mabel loved to sew and was an accomplished seamstress. She also enjoyed knitting and crocheting items for her family. She was a former member of the Rebekah Lodge in Newport.
One of Mabel favorite places was her camp on Ebeemee Lake in Brownville. She really enjoyed sitting by the water and reading and watching the wildlife.
