Come to share in the joy of a life well-lived. Tears are okay, but happy memories and laughter are preferred: 6-9pm Thursday, December 5, 2024 at BRADSHAW, 2800 Curve Crest Blvd. Stillwater. Family remembrances will be shared at 8:00.

It's Mavis' party:  Mavis loved a party, not a funeral. To honor Mavis, dress comfortably, wear your favorite color or even party attire.

Memories of Mavis: Mavis loved photos and stories - there will be a book available to share written memories or a photo you wish to share for her family to keep.

Mavis's garden: Mavis loved plants, flowers and her garden. To honor her and brighten our celebration space, you may bring a favorite bouquet, plant, or single flower to be displayed during the gathering, and then take it home with you when you leave to remember her by.

A dance for Mavis: Mavis loved to watch others dance. We will play her favorite song and you can sway in your chair, grab a partner, or just sing along to "That's Life" by Frank Sinatra.
