Nancy Morgan Bradford

Nancy Mable Morgan Bradford our dear Mother, Grandmother, Great Grandmother, sister, aunt and friend passed away peacefully on Wednesday, December 18th at the age of 81.

Nancy was born on March 30th, 1943 in Payson, Utah to Willis and Fay Howard Morgan. She married Keith Evans and they had two children, Scott and Stacy. They later divorced. On November 6th, 1970 Nancy married Ross Bradford in Ely Nevada. In 1972 Mat joined the family.

Nancy grew up in Goshen, attended Goshen Elementary school, graduated from Payson High and the Seminary program for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. She also attended Snow College in Ephram, Utah. Nancy worked for 25 years for the Nebo School District, Goshen City, and the V.I.P. Preschool as the grandma helper. She taught her kids how to love serving those around you as she volunteered as a 4-H leader for over 40 years. Nancy and Ross together taught the Goshen Broncos 4-H horse club for 37 years and she taught numerous other 4-H clubs. Nancy, or otherwise known as Grandma Nancy, loved cheering her Grandkids on at 4-H shows as well as POA shows. Nancy and Ross traveled all over the states with their family to show POA horses. They looked forward to their annual trip to Iowa with friends of the POA Clubs throughout the States. 

Nancy enjoyed sewing, quilting, crocheting, reading, John Wayne movies, rodeos, cheering on the Utah Jazz and the LA Dodgers. She loved shop- hopping from Payson to Brigham City, all over Salt Lake County and Tooele with her niece Shanna and best friend Marcella Staheli. But her true passion was embroidery work. She taught her grandkids to cross stitch (even the grandsons learned) and to cook cream cheese mints, homemade mac and cheese, and chicken noodle soup just to name a few. Nancy was a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints and served in numerous callings. 

Nancy is survived by her brother Howard (Coy) Morgan, children Scott (Clarissa) Evans, Stacy (Craig) Ercanbrack, Mat Bradford, 12 grandkids, 34 great grandkids, and her nieces and nephews, all who she absolutely loved. She was preceded in death by her parents and her husband Ross.

The family truly appreciated the great care given to Nancy by Paige Steele and Holly Gardiner (Canyon Home Care and Hospice). Nancy’s earthly angels. 

Funeral services will be held Monday, December 23rd, 2024 at 11:00 am at the Goshen LDS Church. Viewings will be Sunday December 22nd from 6:00-8:00 pm at Brown Family Mortuary, 66 So. 300 East, Santaquin, and Monday 9:45-10:45 am at the Goshen church prior to services.

We would ask all those who knew Nancy to take some time over this holiday season to enjoy and love your family as well as say yes to volunteering in any type of setting.
