Bridgette’s celebration of life is scheduled for January 2 at Leak Memory Chapel in Montgomery, where friends, family, and well-wishers will gather to remember and honor this remarkable individual.
Bridgette’s impact on the lives of those around her was immeasurable, marked by kindness, generosity, and a passion for the field of court reporting. Her dedication to her craft and her commitment to the community have left an indelible mark, and as we come together to bid her farewell, we also strive to carry forward her spirit of giving. The celebration of Bridgette Mitchell’s life will commence with a viewing at 3:00, providing an opportunity for friends and family to pay their respects and share cherished memories. The service will follow at 4:00, a time for reflection, remembrance, and the sharing of stories that capture the essence of Bridgette’s vibrant life.
In addition to celebrating Bridgette’s life, the announcement of the creation of the Bridgette Mitchell Scholarship Fund adds a meaningful dimension to the occasion. The scholarship fund, established by the Alabama Court Reporters Association (ACR), will honor Bridgette’s memory by supporting future court reporters at Gadsden State Community College.
Bridgette’s passion for court reporting was not only a profession but a calling, and through the Bridgette Mitchell Scholarship Fund, her legacy will live on in the aspiring court reporters who will benefit from this initiative. The fund symbolizes a commitment to nurturing the next generation of professionals in the field that Bridgette held dear to her heart.
The establishment of the scholarship fund is a testament to the lasting impact Bridgette had on her community and the desire to continue her legacy of mentorship and support. It reflects the recognition of her contributions and the collective effort to ensure that her passion for court reporting continues to inspire and empower others.
As we gather to celebrate Bridgette Mitchell’s life and inaugurate the Bridgette Mitchell Scholarship Fund, we invite all who were touched by her warmth, guidance, and friendship to join us in honoring her memory. The scholarship fund serves as a beacon of hope and opportunity, reflecting the generosity and compassion that defined Bridgette’s life.
In lieu of flowers, the family welcomes contributions to the Bridgette Mitchell Scholarship Fund, a meaningful way to pay tribute to a woman whose impact extended far beyond her professional accomplishments. May Bridgette’s legacy continue to shine through the lives of those she touched, and may the scholarship fund become a source of inspiration for aspiring court reporters for years to come.
