Bradshaw, Karen Louise Lee
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 twenty people. For over twenty-five 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 fifty-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 p.m. at the Berg Mortuary,
