Rosaline Rita Bradley

Rosaline “Rose” Rita Bradley was born November 7, 1931, in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan Canada. Although proud to be a Canadian, she made her home and raised a family in Salem, Oregon, where she passed away on February 19, 2025, surrounded by loved ones. She was 93 years old.

“To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord”— 2 Corinthians 5:8. Our mother was a believer in Jesus, our Lord and Savior. She was loyal, loving and kind, but never afraid to tell people what they needed to hear, even if it wasn’t what they wanted to hear. She had a great sense of humor and an infectious laugh. She was hard working, as she worked her whole working years in the service industry. She served her Church and her community, and she met many people and made lifelong friends. She loved her family and was always there for them if they needed it. Breaking down 93 years of life, a life well lived is no easy task. Our mother lived, loved, and laughed her way through this life, putting one foot in front of the other and she did it with strength and honor. She was a fighter. We are proud to be her children, her family, her friends. Proud to call her ours!
