Mrs. Brenda Mabel Bradshaw of Harborton

Mrs. Brenda Mabel Bradshaw, 61, of Harborton, VA, formerly of Trumansburg, NY, passed away Wednesday, July 31, 2024. Born August 17, 1962 in Northampton, PA, she was the daughter of the late Reuben and Elda (Lieberman) Haydt.

Brenda moved from Northampton, PA to Trumansburg in 1990, where fate led her to the love of her life, Jeffery David Bradshaw, to whom she was married in 1992. For more than two decades Brenda lovingly shaped the minds of countless children as a daycare provider. In 2023, Brenda and Jeff relocated to the Eastern Shore of Virginia. The beach was her happy place which made the Shore the perfect location. Nothing brought Brenda more joy than spending a day at the beach with her family, soaking up the sun and taking in the summer breeze.

She is survived by her husband of 32 years, Jeff Bradshaw; children, Sandra Cauthen (Mel) of Horseheads, NY, Shawn Stefanov and Stefanie Stefanov, both of Accomac, VA, Phillip Dallas (Cheyenne) of Poughkeepsie, NY, and Samantha Dallas of Long Island, NY; brothers and sisters, Dennis Seip (Cheryl), Leon Heller (Nancy), Joy Heller, Debra Haydt, Linda Wark, Karen Wanda, Ruby Black (Kevin), and Thomas Seip (Beverly); grandchildren, KeAndra Castrechino (Dillon), Kyle Malone, Arianna Stefanov, Kaylee Stefanov, and Samara Brooks; great-grandchildren, Greyson, Dalton, and Preston; sisters-in-law, Rebecca Seip, Claudia Croneberger (Bill), and Paula Saxby (Steve); brother-in-law, Arnold Bradshaw; and several nieces and nephews and their families. In addition to her parents, she was predeceased by her brother, Bruce Seip; brother-in-law, Rodney Wark; and sister-in-law, Deb Bradshaw.
