Bridget was born on December 29th, 1971, to John R McCarthy and Helen L McCarthy (Herring) and went on to become a loving, compassionate, and caring person to so many families and friends.

In 2014, Bridget met Andrew Hughes, her true soulmate, at work. Shortly after meeting, they moved to Pensacola Florida with Erin and began living a life in which their commitment to supporting each other every day brought love, laughter, struggle, loss, and more love.
