Gale Ellen (Martin)

Bradfield, 82, formerly of Sistersville, WV,

went to be with her

Lord on Sunday, June

22, 2025.

Born October 13,

1942, in Baltimore,

she was the daughter

of the late George and

Betty (Kane) Martin.

In addition to her

parents, she was preceded in death by her

husband, George

Stewart Bradfield III

in August 2015.

Gale spent her childhood living in multiple

cities across Maryland,

Virginia and West Virginia. Gale graduated

from Parkersburg High

School in 1961. Shortly after, she married

her husband, George

Stewart Bradfield III

in August of that same

year. Gale and Stewart

were blessed with two

daughters, Carrie and

Beth. She was a dedicated and loving mother, spending her time

raising her daughters

and creating

memories.

Gale was also a

strong member of the

Sistersville community,

supporting her husband Stewart in the

planning of countless

diverse community

events. Gale took a

great deal of pride in

being a member of a

small tight knit community.

Gale went on to become a grandmother of

four girls, Jennifer,

Sarah, Emily and Katie. She was always invested in spending

time with her granddaughters and was a

constant presence and

support. Gale loved

talking about her

childhood memories,

music from her lifetime, as well as reminiscing on her favorite

trips she took with

Stewart and her girls.

She took joy in keeping an immaculate

home and passing on

her very specific tips

and tricks.

Rogers and husband

David, of LaVale, and

Beth Athey and husband, David, of Parkersburg, WV and her
