Bridget Ann Bennett

Bridget Ann Rose Bennett, 66, of Toledo, OH, passed away peacefully on March 8, 2025. Born on August 5, 1958, at Mercy Hospital in Toledo, OH, to Agatha and David Drury, Bridget grew up in Waterville and attended Anthony Wayne High School and Penta Career Center, graduating in 1977. After graduation, she worked for the City of Toledo and later for PBS before settling in Toledo, where she built a beautiful life. On May 24, 1985, she married her soulmate, David Bennett, and together they shared many wonderful years filled with love, laughter, and family. A devoted wife and mother, Bridget dedicated herself to raising her two children while also serving her faith community. She was deeply involved in the Toledo Catholic Diocese, where she worked with the Diocese Council and found her greatest joy as a religious instructor, preparing children to receive the Eucharist. Watching her students complete their studies and make their First Communion was one of her proudest accomplishments. Bridget had a deep appreciation for stories of loyalty and resilience, whether in history, film, or the people she loved. She passed down her admiration for the grit and unspoken bonds found in classic New York tales, along with her love of timeless music. The voices of Sinatra, Dean, and Sammy were a constant presence, and no matter the occasion, there was always room for a Patsy Cline song. That same unwavering devotion carried into her love for the Chicago Cubs, a team that tested her patience but never her loyalty. She proudly celebrated her 50th birthday at Wrigley Field, holding out hope season after season. She also enjoyed traveling to Las Vegas, though she rarely gambled, and found joy in playing the piano, listening to country and rock 'n' roll music, and, most of all, spending time with her family. She is survived by her loving husband, David; children, Rebecca Bennett and Ian (Cady) Bennett; cherished grandchildren, Avery, Zoe, Rylan, and Milee; her mother, Agatha Drury; and her brother, Dan (Faryl) Drury, with whom she shared a special bond. She is also survived by her siblings, Mary (Tim) Rogers, Aggie (Joe) LeGros, Cindy (Charlie) MacDonald, and David Jr. (Melissa) Drury, as well as many beloved nieces, nephews, and cousins.
