WILHELMINA “ELSIE” BRADLEY
August 14, 1928 – December 19, 2020
Another angel has earned her wings. Never goodbye only so long for now.
With great sadness we announce the passing of Elsie Bradley on Friday December 19, 2020 at the age of 92. Elsie was born in 1928 to George and Annie Stevenard (nee Nairne) in Winnipeg Mb. She was one of four children.
Elsie loved curling and met her husband, Norman Bradley, while playing at the Glenella Curling Club. They were married in August 1951 and had one son George Bradley. Sadly, Norman passed away only four years after they married. Elsie moved back to Glenella and took on the responsibility of raising her son with the help of her Mother. Elsie worked at Wilson’s Lumber Yard and Zdan’s Garage. She later earned her Teaching Certificate and started a career as a country schoolteacher. Elsie taught at different schools in the Glenella area.
Elsie eventually moved to Beausejour where she lived and worked. She became very involved in the Royal Canadian Legion, Ladies Auxiliary and Club 60. After she retired, she moved to Selkirk MB in 1994, then moved to Winnipeg in 2010 to be closer to family. During this time, Elsie remained active in the Legion and received her 30year service award just two years ago. Being the strong independent woman she was, lived on her own until three years ago when she had a fall and was hospitalized for several months. On release from the hospital, she took up residence at Oakview Place PCH where she was well taken care of and very happy with many new friends. Elsie was loved by all the staff at the home and enjoyed all the activities. Many thanks to all the wonderful staff at Oakview Place. They became her extended family and gave her the best of care.
Elsie loved travelling, curling, dancing, bingo, playing cards, music, barbeques, cooking, baking, flowers, dogs and rum & Coke, but family was her biggest love.
She was predeceased by parents: George and Annie Stevenard; sisters Doris Stevenard and Marguerite Turko, and brother William Stevenard. Elsie is survived by: her loving family: son George Bradley (Sharon); grandchildren: Steven Bradley (Michelle), Christine Rawdon (Mike); step grandchildren: Stacey Singbeil (Kris), and Dawn Roberts (Jim). She is also survived by her great grandchildren and nieces and nephews. She will be missed by all.
Final resting place will be at Goodland Cemetery, Glenella Manitoba.
