Phyllis Bradford Bradshaw

1923 ~ 2017
Phyllis Bradford Bradshaw returned home on March 22, 2017. She was born on November 16, 1923 in Salt Lake City to John Rawsel (Ross) and Lenore Maxwell Bradford, the 6th of 9 children.
Phyllis graduated from East High School. She married Marce Odis Dunn, who was stationed in Utah during World War II. They moved to Virginia to attend pharmacy school and had 3 children, Kenny, Steve, and Janet.
Phyllis, one of eight "pioneers," helped form a branch of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints in Bristol, Virginia, where she served tirelessly. Her heart broke when her son, Steve, age 15, died in a motorcycle accident. Phyllis returned to Salt Lake following a divorce.
In 1974, she married William Walters Bradshaw. They served a mission in Singapore.
Phyllis had many attributes we loved: she cherished and was adored by children, served continually, amused us, danced and sang at family parties, was cheerful, quick-witted, non-judgmental, gentle, and loving. She left no doubt of her love for the Savior.
She is survived by children Kenny (Vicki) Dunn, Janet (Wayne) Gundry, Stepson Bill (Marge) Bradshaw, Stepdaughter Linda (Russ) Fotheringham, 23 grandchildren, 64 great-grandchildren, sister Gwen (Jack) Goaslind, brother-in-law Howard (Afton) Bradshaw, and sister-in-law Mary (Charles) Bradford. She was preceded in death by her parents, son Steven, step-daughter Marcia Ellis, and 7 siblings.
