She began her distinguished nursing career as a Registered Nurse at Pineville Community Hospital in Pineville, Kentucky, where she faithfully served her community until her retirement.

Mary Ellen was preceded in death by her parents, Clayton and Jackie Phillips; her first husband, Steve Bradburn; her second husband, Tommy Good; and her brother, David Phillips.

She is survived by her beloved son, Steven Bradburn, and his wife April, along with her cherished granddaughter, Emily.

She is further survived by her niece, Michal Brooks of Lexington, Kentucky, and great-nephew, Cameron Brooks of Dubuque, Iowa.

Mary Ellen will be remembered for her warmth, her devotion to family, and her lifelong commitment to caring for others. She touched countless lives through her years of nursing and will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved her.
