Memorial service for journalism lecturer this Monday
Family and university mourn Christine Merrill Bradford who died of an apparent heart attack early Thursday morning.
Friday, April 25th, 2008
A memorial service for Christine Merrill Bradford will be held at 4:30 p.m. on Monday, April 28 at the Ecumenical Christian Ministries Center, 1204 Oread Ave., Lawrence, Kans.
Bradford, a KU journalism lecturer and multicultural scholars advisor, died unexpectedly of an apparent heart attack Thursday at age 65.
Students are sharing personal anecdotes about Bradford’s life and career on a facebook group created in her memory, and an online survey on surveymonkey.com is collecting stories about her life.
Students and colleagues at The University of Kansas remember Bradford as a strong mentor, teacher and problem-solver during hard times and a humble, down-to-earth friend during good times.
Students and friends can go to journalism.ku.edu for more information on Bradford’s life, career and memorials.
She is survived by her husband, Ed Barton, her brother, Merrill Bradford, and her sister, Martha Bradford.
Bradford’s family asked that in lieu of flowers, memorial gifts should be sent to the Journalism Multicultural Scholarship Fund in care of KU Endowment.
