Delores graduated from Hope High School in Providence in 1950 and went on to work as a Medical Transcriptionist at Miriam Hospital for many years.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Frank C. and Donatilla (Soares) Santos; her husbands, Anthony J. Marshall and John W. Bradfield; and her son-in-law, Peter Carrier.
Relatives and friends are invited to attend a Mass of Christian Burial at St. Mary's Church, 330 Wood Street, Bristol at 10:00 AM on Monday, June 2, 2025.
