“To live in this world
you must be able
to do three things:
to love what is mortal;
to hold it against your bones knowing
your own life depends on it;
and, when the time comes to let it
go,
to let it go.”
The words of Mary Oliver “In Blackwater Woods” are left with peace to the family and many friends of Elizabeth A. Morse Bradley who passed away peacefully at home June 17, 2024 following complications from Stage IV Bone Cancer.
Elizabeth leaves her husband of 14 years, Terry Bradley, her sons Andrew Bergeron and his partner Rachel Wagner and Daniel Bergeron and his wife Charity, her mother Linda (Thresher) Morse, her brother Timothy Morse and his wife Donna, sister Cherie Lippard, her niece Alysha D’Orazi and nephews Ben, Phillip and Colby Morse. She was predeceased by her father Timothy Morse.
Elizabeth was born in Worcester and her roots were in Spencer, MA. She relocated to Connecticut and eventually California before returning to New England where she married her first spouse Alfred Bergeron and lived in Grafton.
By trade she was a Graphic Designer and Printer for several years before transitioning to a Piano Instructor which she greatly enjoyed as she built relationships with students over many years. She also found peace with her husband Terry walking in the Hassanamesit Woods or kayaking on Hopedale Pond.
Elizabeth led a life of spiritual peace, was open to all faiths and found her own strength and sustenance in her daily meditation and reflection that were central to her Buddhist faith.
A public memorial to celebrate her life will be held at a later date.
Please remember Elizabeth with a donation to Pawsitively 4 Pink at www.Pawsitively4pink.org.
A Book of Memories to share a special message with her family is available at www.RoneyFuneralHome.com.
