On March 17, 2021, Bridgett O'Bryan, loving mother, daughter, and friend to many, passed away at the age of 47. Bridgett was born on July 9th, 1973 in Fort Smith, Arkansas to parents, James and Diana O'Bryan.
Growing up in a military family, she lived many places including Germany where she graduated from Hanau High School, Class of 1991. After high school, she joined the United States Air Force. While serving, Bridgett studied Chinese, Mandarin at Defense Language Institute Foreign Language Center in Monterey, California where she met many lifelong friends.
After completing her service, Bridgett met and married Gary McDaniel living in San Antonio where she welcomed their son, Griffin in 1997. With a thirst for knowledge, Bridgett went on to earn her bachelor's degree in Geography at University of Texas at San Antonio in 2009.
Bridgett has been reunited with her beloved son, Griffin and her father, James. She is survived by her mother, Diana. Bridgett will always be remembered for her passion for traveling, infectious laugh, loyalty to friends, family, and animals, and of course, her love of tacos. We celebrate Bridgett and a life well lived. She would encourage you to do the same.
