Starosto Bridges and her husband Gerald D. of Boiling Springs, SC, Frank M. Starosto and his wife Tammy L. of Woodruff, SC, and Master Sergeant Franklin E. McDonald, who lived with them during his high school years and remains a special part of the family, and his wife Jan S. of Georgia; 11 grandchildren; and 5 great-grandchildren.
She was predeceased by two grandchildren, Daniel Bridges and Brenna McDonald.

She was a devoted wife, mother, and grandmother, who loved her family with all of her heart, confirming it by her countless acts of kindness and selflessness toward us all of her life. We will forever miss her smiles and kisses.
