Mary Frances Bradford, 95, slipped peacefully out of this life on July 12, 2016. Born in Tacoma on October 4, 1920 to Rose and Louis Riconosciuto, she made the journey from Southern Italy in-utero. Mary had osteomyelitis and numerous surgeries at an early age; she was not expected to survive child-hood. She married George Bradford in 1941, becoming a supportive military wife and a wonderful homemaker who created a secure, loving home for her daughters. She lived her life with grace and dignity, always putting her family first. In her later years, Mary enjoyed following the news, playing the stock market, and drinking the occasional Manhattan at Harbor Lights. We're sure going to miss her.
