| The Wickenburg Sun, Wickenburg, AZ May 14, 2008, p. A11 Marcia Arlene Bradshaw was born in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. Her training as a registered nurse was obtained through the Royal Alexandria Hospital in 1942 where she was awarded the Top Proficiency Award in Patient Care. It was there that she met her husband Kenneth, who was a medical intern at the time. She moved with her husband, Kenneth Bradshaw, to Mercer Island, Wash., in 1959. In 1980 they moved to Sun Lakes, Ariz., where she resided until moving to Wickenburg in 2007 to be with her daughter and son-in-law. Marcia was well known to her family and friends as a classy lady who could light up the room with her gorgeous smile. She was kind, caring, gracious, and a true expression of God’s love on this Earth. Those that knew her recognized her as the “perfect hostess.” She never met a stranger as she welcomed many into her house. She focused on each person, all the while effortlessly giving wonderful meals and sharing conversations. Each moment with Marcia, no matter how brief, left each person feeling cared for and special. She was preceded in death by her husband Kenneth Bradshaw in 1985 and her eldest brother Lorne Dunsworth in January, 2008. Marcia is survived by her two brothers Brian Dunsworth (wife Berenice), Bob Dunsworth (wife Betty), sister-in-law Nancy Dunsworth, daughter Brynna J. Valenzuela (husband Johnny), son Douglas K. Bradshaw (wife Anne), son Alan R. Bradshaw (wife Charlotte), son Robert D. Bradshaw, and grandchildren Nik Tomassian (Kimberly), Joshua Abreu-Rosa, Zacharie Bradshaw, Molly Bradshaw, Eric Bradshaw (Sarah), Kenneth Bradshaw (Allie), Daniel Bradshaw (Tomoyo) and Andrew Bradshaw. There will be a celebration of Marcia’s life planned for the upcoming summer. No other services at this time. Arrangements are under the direction of David’s Desert Chapel Funeral Home of Wickenburg. In lieu of flowers or gifts, Marcia asked that any contributions be given to Hospice of the Valley, 1510 E. Flower Street, Phoenix, AZ 85014 |
