Greeting her were her parents, Sadie and Harry Chambers, sisters Dorothy and Rose, and brothers Earl and Bruce. United, again, as was the Chambers’ way as they sang and danced to familiar Irish tunes.Bridget was born November 9, 1918 in Johnstown, PA and grew up in Cleveland, Ohio during the Great Depression. She graduated from Notre Dame Academy, where she was the captain of the ladies basketball team. Bridget later married Raymond Hartwick. They raised their family, daughters Sharon Bullene, Susan Hartwick-Sauer and Joan Aston and son John Hartwick in Ohio, and later ventured to California.Grandchildren, great grandchildren, family and friends will all miss her quick wit and love of a good-hearted debate, politics being one of her favorite subjects. Being an avid reader, Mum was well versed in her point of view.May the road rise up to meet you,May the wind be always at your back.
