Shirley Bradshaw Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Hugh B. Hughes & Son, Inc., Funeral Home on Jan. 18, 2026.
Shirley A. Bradshaw, 77, of Duryea, passed away peacefully on Thursday, January 15, at Geisinger Wyoming Valley Hospital in Wilkes-Barre.

Shirley was born in Olyphant on August 21, 1948, the daughter of the late Michael and Olga Grasko Grunza.

A gifted and accomplished seamstress, Shirley took pride in her work and shared her talent with skill and excellence. She was a loving mother and a devoted wife who found joy in the simple things in life. She had a deep appreciation for the ocean and lighthouses, which reflected her calm nature and gentle spirit.

Shirley will always be remembered for her sacrifice, her devotion, and her quiet strength. Kind and gracious throughout her life, she touched many hearts and made the world a better place through her presence. The legacy she leaves behind is one of love, devotion, and selflessness.

She is survived by her loving husband of 41 years, Harry Bradshaw Jr.; her children, Kurt, Jimmy, Harry, David, Richard, and Robert; and all those who knew her and loved her.

Shirley is now safe in the arms of Jesus Christ, her Lord, Savior, Redeemer, and Friend. She is cheering her family and friends on in the faith until the day they meet again.
