Gail Anderson Bradford, born in South St. Paul, MN, to Arthur and Elizabeth (Lamont) Anderson, passed away on August 17, 2024, after a brave battle with Alzheimer’s.

Always valuing education, Gail earned a bachelor’s degree from the College of St. Benedicts in 1981, as a single mother. Her marriage to Richard Bibeau gave her three children: Craig (Erica) Bibeau, Amy Bibeau, and Susan (Adam) Bauer. In 1993, she married the love of her life, Bill Bradford, who survives her, along with her brothers Alan (Carol), Norman, and Edward Anderson, her children, stepchildren, and grandchildren.

A visionary, Gail believed in everyone’s inherent value, a principle she imparted to her children. As a devoted mother, she offered guidance with her unique humor, encouraging her children to forge their own paths.

Gail was passionate about music, reading, and gardening.

An animal lover, she cherished her Airedale terriers, Molly and later George.

Her family thanks Bill, the caregivers at Annandale Care Center, and St. Croix Hospice for their compassionate care as Gail’s condition progressed.

Services for Gail Bradford will be at Rejoice Lutheran Church, in Clearwater MN, on October 5th, 2024, at 10:30 a.m. with lunch to follow at the church.

In lieu of flowers, memorials may be sent to Airedale Terrier Rescue and Adoption at https://www.aire-rescue.org.
