Bridget was born in New York City, the daughter of Domenico and Maria Comiso. She graduated from Girls Commercial High School in Brooklyn. In her younger years, she was an office worker for several businesses in the New York metropolitan area. Bridget was a member of the Columbiettes in Brooklyn (the women’s auxiliary of the Knights of Columbus), the Senior Citizens Club of the Chatham’s and St. Patrick Church.

She always believed her faith would sustain her during difficult times.
