Daisy E (Bridgman) Bradstreet

BEVERLY- Daisy E. (Bridgman) Bradstreet, 94, of Beverly, loving wife, beloved mother, and cherished grandmother passed away peacefully on December 14, 2020 at the Kaplan Family Hospice House in Danvers, MA after a brief illness.

Daisy was born in Everett, MA to Neal and Emilie (Kaercher) Bridgman. She grew up in Beverly, and then moved to Danvers graduating from Holten High School in Danvers in 1945. The family then moved to Topsfield, where she joined the choir and met her future husband Howard with whom she shared 56 years of marriage. They raised their family together on the Bradstreet farm. After moving to Salem, N.H. from 1984 to 2013 she returned full circle back to her home town of Beverly and very happily lived out her final years at Harborlight House.

Daisy loved gardening and baking her favorite desserts for her family, almost as much as spending time watching her grandchildren grow. Family pie favorites were her squash, lemon meringue, and apple pies cooked to perfection. You could always find cookies in the cookie jar. She opened her heart to everyone she met especially her close friends and caregivers at Harborlight House.

Daisy loved her family unconditionally. She was predeceased by her husband, Howard in 2004, her brother, Robert Bridgman and wife, Beverly of Pueblo, Colorado, newborn son, baby Harold, son-in-law, Robert Colleton, and newborn great granddaughter, Krystal Baker.
