Bridie Schmitt
On Sept. 7, 2014. Bridie
was born in The Bronx
in 1931. She was the
youngest of five, being
predeceased by her
sister, Elizabeth (Sissy)
and her brothers, Martin,
Lawrence and Phil.
Growing up in Mott
Haven, Bridie learned to
be tough and marched
to the beat of her own
drummer and was unapologetic
which drove
a lot of people crazy, but
it often worked in her
favor! She worked hard
her whole life, having
enjoyed careers at General
Electric, E.F. Hutton
and finally the New York
City Police Department
from which she retired
in 1999. She raised her
kids - pretty much on her
own, in Brooklyn, NY.
Having dropped out of
high school to take care
of her own ill mother,
Bridie was determined to
get her high school diploma
before her youngest
daughter, Tara, graduated
from high school,
and she succeeded!!
Bridie loved animals and
brought a lot of them
home. She passed that
love along to her children
– all of whom since have
had their own brood of
pets as adults. That
is probably one of her
greatest legacies – her
love and care for animals
which we inherited. In
fact, shortly before mom
died, her oldest daughter,
Theresa, adopted
her cats, Madison and
Cleo into her own home,
so that mom wouldn’t
have the burden of taking
care of pets as her
health declined. And just
before she died, mom
asked that the birds
that visit her house from
time to time be fed with
the rice she had left in
the refrigerator. Bridie’s
daughters, nieces and
nephews (and cats)
already miss her so very
much. We’ll remember
her as a “firecracker,”
and we hope we have
that spark in us, because
that’s one of the ways in
which we can carry her
within our hearts forever.

Bridie Schmitt
On Sept. 7, 2014. Bridie
was born in The Bronx
in 1931. She was the
youngest of five, being
predeceased by her
sister, Elizabeth (Sissy)
and her brothers, Martin,
Lawrence and Phil.
Growing up in Mott
Haven, Bridie learned to
be tough and marched
to the beat of her own
drummer and was unapologetic
which drove
a lot of people crazy, but
it often worked in her
favor! She worked hard
her whole life, having
enjoyed careers at General
Electric, E.F. Hutton
and finally the New York
City Police Department
from which she retired
in 1999. She raised her
kids - pretty much on her
own, in Brooklyn, NY.
Having dropped out of
high school to take care
of her own ill mother,
Bridie was determined to
get her high school diploma
before her youngest
daughter, Tara, graduated
from high school,
and she succeeded!!
Bridie loved animals and
brought a lot of them
home. She passed that
love along to her children
– all of whom since have
had their own brood of
pets as adults. That
is probably one of her
greatest legacies – her
love and care for animals
which we inherited. In
fact, shortly before mom
died, her oldest daughter,
Theresa, adopted
her cats, Madison and
Cleo into her own home,
so that mom wouldn’t
have the burden of taking
care of pets as her
health declined. And just
before she died, mom
asked that the birds
that visit her house from
time to time be fed with
the rice she had left in
the refrigerator. Bridie’s
daughters, nieces and
nephews (and cats)
already miss her so very
much. We’ll remember
her as a “firecracker,”
and we hope we have
that spark in us, because
that’s one of the ways in
which we can carry her
within our hearts forever.
