Bridget Teresa Hobbs

It is with heavy hearts that the Flood family learned of Bridget’s passing. Our deepest sympathies to you Tony, your sons ,daughter in laws and your precious grandson. Bridget was of great importance to our family ever since she accompanied our eldest sister Elaine to my parent’s home some 40-50 years ago. Our Irish mother and our father saw her as a daughter and all eleven of us children saw her as a sister. In fact, when Elaine died in 2021, Bridget was listed in her obituary as an honorary sister. Our children adored her for her sweetness and kindness. She was a big part of our family gatherings and celebrations. And when she and Tony wed, he became part of our family fold. Tony, you were the perfect partner for Bridget. We will always remember her and miss her lovely Irish personality. We have indeed lost a treasure.

Hi Tony Condolences on Bridget’s passing. I just received the news from Eliza. So so sorry that we didn’t get together this past year. She was a special person!

We were so privileged to have Bridget in our lives. She was truly a part of my family growing up who brought so much joy, love and laughter to our lives. We were so fortunate that my siblings and I were able to take piano lessons from Bridget and then my children continued the tradition by taking lessons from her, as well. We will miss your laugh, your love and your words of encouragement. Our sincere condolences to Tony and family.

Bridget had a vibrant joy about her, with the most infectious giggle imaginable! She easily spread joy and love to those she interacted with. Her memory will bring music to the hearts of so many. She is greatly missed. Sincere condolences to all those whose knew and loved her dearly. 🙏🏽💔

I am Bridget's niece from Ireland and Bridget also has a brother still living - Pat in England, she also has nieces and nephews in England. We are all devastated by her passing. She was an amazing lady, full of fun, chat, goodness and love. She adored teaching piano to her many students. Bridget made a good life for herself in Canada and made some very good friends in the process and I am very grateful to her friends for their friendship to her over all the years. "Ar dheis Dé go raibh a hanam dílis" - an Irish phrase meaning - "may her holy soul be on the right side of God."

Bridget was a bright light in so many lives. She brought her love of music to all of her students and inspired excellence in their learning. We were happy to be a part of her story of becoming a music teacher and overcoming challenges. Our children benefitted so much from her guidance. Tony, we are holding you and your family in our prayers as you live through this difficult time. In Peace and Friendship, Anna and Tom (and Anthony and Tara) McInerney

Bridget will be greatly missed. Her devotion, love, and compassion towards her students were absolutely remarkable and left an indelible mark on their lives, witnessed on my two children who took piano lessons with her over 30 years ago. Her friendship was a godsend in my life with her unwavering support and love. And her courage and resilience in overcoming the obstacles of her life an inspiration! She was to me a "kindred spirit". I greatly miss you, Bridget.. and will always love you dearly. My condolences, Tony, to you and your family, especially to Jack of whom she always spoke with great love.

Bridget taught our two children piano for the last 10 years. She always greeted us with a hug and kind words. She made everyone feel welcome. She will be dearly missed. Every time the children play the piano, we will think of her. Tony, we are so very sorry for your loss. Our deepest condolences. Bridget was a beautiful person who will be fondly remembered.

Bridget was a lovely warm and wonderful lady despite many trials during her life. My late partner George and I had spent numerous occasions in her company and were blessed to have known her. Rest in peace,Bridget.

Bridget was a dear sweet soul, a lady with an incredible gift of music that she shared with everyone and with all those students she taught over many years. Bridget always gave unconditional support through her friendship and love. She possessed a delightful sense of humour and in her life’s journey an incredible resilience to the many challenges she endured. We are so blessed with our wonderful memories of shared times together. Love from Diane and Rob and all Godkin family members
