Bridget grew up in Lake Shore, Utah, a rural town where her parents owned a home and a small farm. She attended Spanish Fork elementary and Spanish Fork High School. She worked at East Lake Care center in Provo and she met her husband Cory who also worked there as a kitchen assistant. They married during their senior year of High School and had 3 children. Bridget later met Robert Owens and they had another son. Dusty Williams and Bridget were partners for some years and her last 3 children were born then. She raised her 7 children in the home she owned in Santaquin, Utah. She was a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

Bridget had a tender heart and always wished to show her love for others by giving little gifts. She had many health challenges, but she lived the best she could and was a kind and gracious person that never failed to express her gratitude to those who helped her or her children. Bridget fiercely loved her kids and taught them to be kind, honest, hardworking, and respectful. They are a credit to her loving nurturing nature. Bridget loved her garden and as her health and stamina allowed, she planted her yard with a collection of flowers and plants and interspersed them with interesting stones. Every kind of animal and insect was precious to her. She and her kids had many pets, rabbits, goats, a chicken, cats, a cockatiel parrot and parakeets, fish, hamsters, and dogs. Her pets and children were the motivation to get up and carry on when life was hard.

Bridget bred her beloved teacup poodles and shih tzu dogs. Her loving and nurturing nature was perfect for this. Families and individuals all over Utah have furry babies they got from her.

Bridget was preceded in death by her ex-husband, Cory Hinckley and sister, Krystal Warnock.
