Patricia Bradshaw

Pat was a long-time resident of Gastonia. She loved her family dearly and was resilient in all that life threw her way. She lived the last three years of her life at Courtland Terrace where she made new friends and built strong relationships. She took special care of the beautiful plants in her windowsill, and cherished time with visitors.

In addition to her mother, she was preceded in death by her husband, William Lester Bradshaw Sr., and her sons, William Lester Bradshaw Jr. and Bobby Dean Bradshaw.
