Jennifer (Jenn) Lee Bradshaw Thatcher, 52, of Dade City, Florida, passed away peacefully at home on June 29, 2025.
Born on April 19, 1973, in Brooksville, Florida, Jenn was the beloved daughter of Leo and Carol Bradshaw. A lifelong resident of Dade City, she attended Pasco Comprehensive High School and went on to earn an Associate Degree from Pasco Hernando State College. She was just shy of completing her Bachelor's degree from the same college when illness interrupted her studies.
Jenn was a talented designer for The Closet Factory and later became part-owner and bookkeeper for Marine One of Tampa alongside her husband. Her creative spirit shined through in everything she did. An exceptionally gifted quilter, Jenn designed many of her own quilts, pouring love and artistry into every stitch. She also had a passion for gardening, especially her beautiful orchids and roses, which she proudly displayed around her home and porch.
Jenn married her husband, Timothy Thatcher, on February 29, 2016. Their years together were filled with love, laughter, and shared dreams. Jenn was known for her kindness, her unwavering devotion to family, and, above all, her role as a loving mother to her son, Shaun O'Hara.
She is survived by her husband, Timothy Thatcher of Dade City; her son, Shaun O'Hara of Dade City; her parents, Leo and Carol Bradshaw of Dade City; and many cherished cousins and in-laws, including William Thatcher, PhD, and Marie-Joelle Thatcher of Gainesville, Florida. Jenn's love for animals was a constant in her life, and she leaves behind her three beloved dogs, Sassy, Buggie, and Chloe.
A visitation will be held on Thursday, July 3, 2025, from 2:00 PM to 3:00 PM at Hodges Family Funeral Home in Dade City, followed by a service at 3:00 PM.
In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests donations be made to an animal rescue organization of your choice, in honor of Jenn's lifelong love for animals.
