Bradshaw, Karen Louise Lee
Karen Louise Lee Bradshaw 1933 ~ 2005 Separated for a moment Karen Louise Lee
Bradshaw died in Salt Lake City on Easter Sunday, March 27, 2005 after a long
struggle with Alzheimer's disease. She was born in Logan, UT on December 12,
1933 to Lawrence and Donna Benson Lee. Her mother said that Karen was a very
happy and cheerful child with a quick and active mind. She exhibited this
cheerfulness throughout her life even during her mental decline. Karen's
growing years were spent in small towns of Southern Idaho, Western Wyoming and
Northern Utah as her father looked for a small farm to supplement his high
school music-teaching career. The family eventually settled in Vernal, UT
where Karen graduated from Uintah High School in 1951. Karen entered the
University of Utah that year, and met Jerald Sherwin Bradshaw, her soul mate
and eternal companion, in the high-stepping U of U marching band. She
transferred to Utah State University and graduated in Elementary Education,
before her marriage to Jerald in the Logan LDS Temple on August 6, 1954. She
taught first-grade or kindergarten in 1954 - 1957 in Salt Lake City, in
Alameda, CA and in Washington, DC. After Jerald finished a tour of duty in the
US Navy in 1959, Karen and Jerald moved to Southern California for Jerald's
graduate education at UCLA. Karen earned a Master's degree in Elementary
Education with a minor in Library Science at UC Berkeley in 1966. (Karen was
thrilled when her granddaughter, Karen Webster, became a student at Berkeley
in 2002.) The family moved to Provo in 1966 when Jerald joined the Chemistry
Faculty at the Brigham Young University. Karen became a superb homemaker in
her home on Oak Lane so that everyone in the family called her "Mrs. America."
She delighted in preparing gourmet meals for two, four or 20 people. For over
25 years, she prepared a special Sunday evening dinner every week for all her
family including her mother and all her nephews attending BYU. Often, children
and grandchildren of other relatives joined these festive times. Karen also
loved to prepare yearly gourmet meals for members of Jerald's research group
and their partners. Those dinners were much enjoyed by the young BYU students.
Karen became one of the most accomplished quilters in Utah Valley. All members
of her extended family and friends of her daughters are enjoying that "special
quilt" which Karen made especially for them. She started quilting in 1955 when
Jerald was aboard ship in the Pacific. Their apartment at UCLA during the 1959
- 1962 years was so small that they opened the front door and crawled under
the quilt in progress to enter their front room. Three of Karen's quilts
earned high honors - "Best of the Show" and "Blue Ribbon" at the Utah State
Fair and "Best of the Show" at the Utah County Fair. Karen also created many
pieces of art and jewelry for friends and family over the years. She painted
beautiful ceramic Nativity figures for herself and her siblings along with a
50-piece Christmas village that she enjoyed each Christmas season. Karen
enjoyed traveling to chemistry meetings and universities throughout the world
with her husband. Their travels took them to Ljubljana, Slovenia; Sheffield,
England; and Townsville, Australia for extended stays while on Sabbatical
leaves. Their daughters and granddaughters accompanied them on many of their
travels. They traveled extensively through Europe, Israel, Japan, China, New
Zealand and Australia. Karen would read travel books on the places they would
be going so she could see all the interesting sites while Jerald was busy
lecturing. Even though she enjoyed all her trips, she always said the best
part of traveling was entering Utah Valley on the way home. Activity in the
LDS Church was the most important part of Karen's life. She was particularly
active in Relief Society especially in the homemaking area. She was ward
homemaking counselor or work director in nearly every ward in which she lived.
She was Ward Relief Society President twice and Stake Homemaking Counselor for
five years. She greatly enjoyed working with the women of the wards and stake.
Karen is survived by her husband, Jerald, daughters Donna Maree Webster of
West Jordan and Melinda Caroline Waterman of Salt Lake City, granddaughters
Karen Marlene Webster of Berkeley, CA and Amber Melinda Webster of West
Jordan; her brother Lawrence B. Lee and his wife Marilyn, of Orem, sister
Patricia Fae Russell and her husband Bob, of St. George, and brother-in-law
Larry Hartman and his wife Diane of Springville, and by many members of her
extended Lee and Bradshaw families. She was preceded in death by her parents,
sister Zetta Hartman and niece Ticia Lauri Hartman. The Bradshaw family wishes
to thank the capable and caring medical staff at CareSource for their loving
care of our beloved wife and mother. Funeral services for Karen will be held
on Thursday, March 31, 2005 at 3:00 p.m. at the Oak Hills Fourth Ward Chapel,
925 E. North Temple Drive, Provo, UT. A viewing will be held Wednesday, 6-8

Tatro, Joe
Joe Tatro "Uncle Joe" "Give me some sugar" Our loving husband, brother,
special uncle, and friend, Alba W. "Joe" Tatro passed away March 26, 2005 at
home in Sandy due to complications from pneumonia. Joe was born April 8, 1932
in Tampa, Florida to Joseph and Bessie Tatro. He lived in Florida until he
moved to Utah in 1978 where he met his sweetheart, Carol Bartmanowicz. They
were married June 18, 1982. Joe was a kid at heart; mischievous, with
twinkling eyes and a heart of gold. His many nieces and nephews were his pride
and joy, and he loved to tease and nickname them. He enjoyed cooking, fishing,
gardening, and old westerns. Along with his green thumb he was the king of
puzzles and massages. Joe was a volunteer for Salt Lake Co. Aging Services,
Visiting Companion, and delivered Meals on Wheels. He is a member of The
Adventure Four Square Church. "I lived a good life, I did things I maybe
shouldn't have done, but I had fun doing them, and now I am ready to go."
Survived by his loving wife of 23 years, Carol; sister, Marcella (Bud) Bregg;
brother, Andrew Tatro; special sister-in-law, Lavonne Tatro; and many
cherished nieces and nephews. Preceded in death by his parents; nephew; and
brother, Ernest Tatro. God watched you as you suffered and knew you had your
share. He gently closed your weary eyes and took you in His care. God has you
in His keeping: we have you in our hearts. Your memory is our keepsake, with
that will never part. God saw that you were getting tired, and a cure was not
to be. So he put his arms around you and whispered, "Come to me." With tearful
eyes we watched you, and saw you pass away. And though we loved you dearly, we
could not make you stay. A golden heart stopped beating, hard working hands
put to rest. God broke our heart to prove to us, He only takes the best. The
family would like to thank Joe's caregiver and niece, Nancy Bateman for all
she did. Funeral services will be held 1 p.m. Saturday, April 2, 2005 at The
