Mariann Bradbury Obituary (1956

Everyday holds the possibility of a miracle and that's what her life had been for the past four years, a miracle. With humble hearts we pay tribute to the matriarch of our family. We, Calle, Jenn, Taft, and Halee are so honored and blessed to be her children. What the earth has lost, heaven has gained. We love you Mom! Mariann passed away from an ongoing battle with cancer on September 29, 2011, surrounded by her family. She lived life to the fullest. She loved and served her family and friends, constantly placing their needs before her own. Mariann easily distinguished herself at work, at church, and in the hospital with her positive attitude and uplifting personality. Family, friends, neighbors, ward members, coworkers, doctors, and nurses loved her as we do, and she loved them back. She had a gift to see the very best in people and make everyone around her feel special. She loved and cared for others deeply. Mariann loved our Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ and served them honorably, not only in her various ward callings, but also in her everyday doings and interactions with others. Even in the months of her greatest personal need, she continued to comfort others and bring them happiness. Not only did she bring loving happiness to the home, but to the hospital as well. She always shared her beautiful contagious smile and infectious, cheerful laughter. The most important thing in Mariann's life are her children and her grandchildren. Mariann is survived by her four children: Calle (Derel) DeWitt, Jenn Bradbury, Taft Bradbury, and Halee (Andrew) Penrod, and by her three grandchildren: Max (8), Addie (5), and Savannah (3). She is also survived by her brothers and sister Randy (Robyn) Baum, Russ (Joyce) Baum, Ed (Renae) Baum, Bob (Jennifer) Baum and Susan (Rich) Norman. Mariann has 23 nieces and nephews who will miss her dearly. She is preceded in death by her mother, Hazel Marie Memmot Brewer, her stepfather, Reece Brewer, her nephew Chad Baum, and her niece Carissa Hall. The family wishes to express deep gratitude to Dr. Nathan Rich who had faith in her and gave her precious time with her loved ones.
