Frances Bradshaw Obituary
Born in Gloversville, NY, in April of 1953, she enjoyed her job, while a teenager, as a seamstress in a glove factory, as well as attending many Salvation Army youth outings, one of which she met the love of her life in the early 70's. The two were wed on September 14, 1974 and had two children before becoming a U.S. Air Force family in 1977 until 1996, during which time she was a loyal military housewife and loving mother.
A passionate crafter her entire life - be it quilts, costumes, jewelry and the like - nothing made her happier than to be able to share these gifts with all of her beloved friends and family.
She is predeceased by husband, Phillip Mark Bradshaw.
She is survived by their two children; two grandchildren; five siblings; and many, many close family, immediate and extended, members and friends globally.
As per her request, there will be no memorial services,
Donations may be made, in her name, to Abraham House of Rome at www.theabrahamhouse.org or the American Brain Tumor Association at www.abta.org.

Phillip and Joel, I am very sorry to hear about your mother's passing. I remember when she was the room mother for our class in sixth grade at Francis X. Bellamy Elementary School during the 1986-1987 school year. You can take comfort that she is in a better place after a long and hard struggle and is reunited with your father. My prayers are with your family during this very difficult time.
