Bridgette Ladner, fondly known as "The Princess," peacefully passed away on February 3, 2024. She was the cherished matriarch of her family, leaving behind a legacy of love, laughter, and strength. Bridgette possessed a remarkable sense of humor and a vivacious personality that lit up every room she entered. Affectionately called "Sassy Britches," she had a unique ability to find humor in every situation and spread joy wherever she went. She had a passion for life's simple pleasures, finding joy in dancing, playing bingo, and watching football. Bridgette's kitchen was a place of magic, where she delighted her loved ones with her famous French toast and noodle salad.

She was a wonderful mother, grandmother, daughter, sister, aunt, and friend to many, she will be missed dearly.
