Bridget intended to be a pilot to aid the military, transporting goods during War World II, but that goal was not reached. So she used her talent working for the Southern Pacific Railroad as a dispatcher. So many wonderful stories were told to her children and grandchildren about the adventures of working with Southern Pacific Railroad. Bridget was a devoted Catholic and strived to share her passion for the Pre-Vatican II Traditional Latin Mass with her children and friends. She always opened her home to those in need and always took the opportunity to do the right thing, which meant her way. As a mother, sister, aunt and grandma, Bridget will be sorely missed. She brought joy and loving guides to all who came into contact during her life. We all are grateful to God for sharing her with us for the past 8 years. She now shares her love with the angels. Arrangements were handled by David’s Desert Chapel in Wickenburg.
