Mrs. Bradshaw's Findagrave entry has an obituary, which mentions that she was a telephone operator for thirty years with AT&T and Southwestern Bell. She also was a member of the Telephone Pioneers non-profit, charitable organization.

Her headstone is a modern, granite headstone, standing upright along the western fence near the cemetery gate. The family name, "Bradshaw", is at the top. As of this posting, her husband, David W. Bradshaw, is still with us, but a tractor appears above his side of the headstone. The Bell System logo is above Mrs. Bradshaw's personal information, which says:
