Judy Ann Bradshaw

On January 6^th, 2023, Judy Ann King Bradshaw passed away after a courageous 5-year battle with breast cancer at the age of 74 surrounded by her children, family, and friends. She was a loving daughter, sister, mother, grandmother and friend to everyone she met.

She was born June 15^th, 1948, to Louise Yandle King and John Octavious King Sr. The third of five children in beautiful Wilmington, North Carolina. If you had a chance of knowing Judy, you knew how special she was and how much she loved life. She attended New Hanover High School, followed by Baulder Fashion College in Miami, Florida where she earned her Fashion and Merchandising degree.

July 9, 1974, she married Donald D Bradshaw Sr. and instantly fell in love with his two children Michelle and David. Six years later she became a mom to a daughter name Victoria Leanne.

She was raised and attended First Advent Christian Church in Wilmington.

Judy loved her family, friends, being outside, working the garden, planting, making sweet tea, having family get together, and most of all she was a woman who loved Jesus.

She is preceded in death by her father John O. King Sr. and Mother Louise Y. King. Her sister Nancy K. Logan, brother John O. King Jr., sister Lou K. Smith, daughter Michelle Ziegler, and granddaughter Olivia V. Parulski.

She leaves behind two children Victoria L. Rivera and husband Jose of Wilmington, NC. Her son David Bradshaw and wife April also of Wilmington and four grandchildren Haley Fargo, Lucas Fargo, Tyler Ziegler, and JJ Rivera.  Two sisters Charlotte Teachey and Brenda King, and numerous nieces, nephews, cousins, family and friends.

We would like to thank her Oncology and Hospice team for the compassion they continually gave our beloved mom, and the endless hours of treatment, phone calls, check in’s, home visits, cards and so much more. We are truly humbled by you all.
