Along with her nursing career, her main focus was caring for her family and friends. During her children’s school years, she was involved in coaching cheerleading at Owen J. Roberts, a band parent, an exchange student host, and so much more. She was always volunteering for something, everyone knew “Mom Bradford” was available and ready to help. She loved watching all the sporting events that her children and grandchildren were involved in. There wasn’t an event that she wasn’t at! In her later years, came the grandchildren, her pride and joy. She was a devoted nanny, never able to quite say NO when it came to spoiling her grandchildren. She was famous for her trick or treating, it was never unlike her to show up dressed in character. She was a “Homeroom Nanny” many times in elementary school and “Team Nanny” to everyone on the lacrosse team.
