In Loving Memory of Marilyn Jean Bradford

Marilyn Jean Bradford, age 82, passed away peacefully surrounded by her family on June 15, 2026, in Rawlins, Wyoming.

Marilyn was a loving wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, and friend whose warmth and joyful spirit brightened the lives of everyone she met. She was known for her bubbly personality, goofy sense of humor, and her kind and caring heart. Whether sharing a laugh, offering a helping hand, or simply spending time with those she loved, Marilyn had a special way of making people feel welcome and valued.

She spent many years working as the Carbon County data processor, where she built lasting friendships and earned the respect of her coworkers before retiring.

Marilyn enjoyed life’s simple pleasures. She loved shopping, taking trips to the casino, garage saling, and spending time with family. Her greatest happiness came from being surrounded by the people she loved and creating memories that will be treasured for generations.

She is survived by her devoted husband, Michael L. Bradford; her children, Debbie Aschbrenner, Dan Ford, Eric Ford, Charles Jennings, and Sheri Van Wagoner; 17 grandchildren; many great-grandchildren; and numerous extended family members and friends.

Marilyn was preceded in death by her parents, Orville and Elsie, along with four siblings, Gary, Faye, Doug, and David.

Though our hearts are heavy with her loss, we find comfort in the love she gave, the laughter she shared, the life she gave for her children, and the countless memories she leaves behind. Her legacy lives on in the lives she touched and, in the family, she cherished so deeply.

Marilyn will be forever loved, forever missed, and forever remembered.
