Bethony A. Bradshaw

Bethony Ann Bradshaw (Stilwell), aged 71, passed away peacefully at home on August 19, 2025. A loving sister, wife, mother, and grandmother, she was a generous friend, and fierce nurturer of anyone in need.

Born on March 23, 1954, Beth was the oldest of four children born to Anthony and Beverly Stilwell. She met her husband, Chuck Bradshaw, in the early 90’s and it soon became a love that would last a lifetime, and beyond.

Beth worked various jobs, but is known to most for being a regular bartender at several of the local establishments throughout the years. She was often admired for her caring heart, generosity, and quick-witted humor.

At home, she was the matriarch in her circle of friends — the one who always cooked too much food for the occasion, hosted every holiday meal, and always made time to listen if you had a problem. She enjoyed gardening, cooking, and absolutely loved her animals.

Beth was predeceased by her husband, Chuck; her parents, Anthony and Beverly; and her beloved brother, Tom. She is survived by her sons, Anthony “Jimmer” (Betty) Szatkowski and Andrew “Andi-Jo” (Sara) Szatkowski; stepchildren, Elizabeth “Ashley” (Chad) Gower, David (Amanda) Bradshaw, Ben (Jon) Bradshaw; seventeen grandchildren; and seven great-grandchildren. She also leaves behind two sisters, Becky and Bonnie; several nieces and nephews; and a special friendship she shared with Cheryl Bradshaw.

Friends and family are invited to her calling hours on Wednesday, September 3 from 1-3PM at Cooper Funeral Home, 215 W. Center St., Medina.
