Wilda Bridges passed away Sunday, August 13, 2017, in Natchitoches, surrounded by her family. She was born August 3, 1926, in Fullerton, LA to Owen Samuel McCollough and Gertrude Jones McCollough. Upon graduation from Mt. Carmel High School and is a member of the greatest generation this country has ever seen, Wilda and her family moved to Washington State and worked for Boeing Aircraft Company, to contribute to the war effort. She was very proud of the service she provided to her country. Over the course of her life, she worked many places like Nichols Dry Goods, but no job was more important to her than the care of her family. Wilda was a member of the Eastern Star and attended 1st Presbyterian Church of Natchitoches. She will forever be in our hearts and we take comfort in knowing she is in heaven with her savior, Jesus Christ.
On Sunday morning she was reunited with her husband, Herman Edward Bridges, her son, Jim Edward Bridges, her parents, Owen Samuel and Gertrude Jones McCollough; and brother, Owen Samuel McCollough, Jr.
She is survived by her daughter, Betty Kathryn Shutt of Lewisville, TX; sons, Alan Douglas Bridges and his wife Cindy of Jumping Branch, WV, and Michael Lloyd Bridges and his wife Tina of Natchitoches, LA; a sister, Wanda Hilton of Natchitoches, LA; and a daughter in law, Judy Bridges of Fort Wayne, IN. She was blessed with 13 grandchildren, Wendi Shutt Fling, Eric Shutt and his wife Stephanie, Christopher Bridges and his wife Kelly, Lesley Bridges LaRose and her husband Eric, Erin Bridges Smith and her husband Nick, Jennifer Bridges Mura and her husband Mark, Stephen Bridges and his wife Dewana, Julie Bridges Lamarche and her husband Justin, Jeffrey Bridges, and Stacey Bridges; as well as 23 great grandchildren, 1 great-great grandchild and numerous nieces and nephews (who she loved like her own grandchildren).
The family wishes to send their deepest appreciation to Linda Eli and Marie Westmoreland for their tireless care, compassion and friendship to Wilda during such a difficult time; as well as to the staff of Hospice of Natchitoches and Dr. Kautz and staff. In lieu of floral contributions, please make a donation in Wilda’s name to Hospice of Natchitoches, 340 2nd St, Natchitoches, LA 71457.
