In Loving Memory of Bridget Katherine Parks

February 22, 1995 – October 25, 2026

Bridget Katherine Parks, born February 22, 1995, in Bedford, Texas, passed away on October 25, 2026, in Haltom City, Texas. Though her time here was far too short, the love she gave, the memories she created, and the lives she touched will remain in the hearts of those who knew and loved her forever.

Bridget was a kindhearted, compassionate, and giving young woman with a beautiful spirit and a love for life in all its little adventures. She had a way of making people feel welcome and cared for, and those who called her a friend knew they had someone who genuinely cared. She was fun-loving, adventurous, and always willing to try something new. She could enjoy the comfort of home just as much as an adventure, because what mattered most to Bridget was being surrounded by the people who held a special place in her heart.

Bridget had a deep and unconditional love for animals. They were more than pets to her; they were her babies and an important part of her family. She shared her home and heart with her beloved tortoise, Cece, rabbit, Velvet, and cats, Ember, Marvin, Bear, and Spencer. Her compassion extended beyond the animals she cared for, and she had begun looking into the possibility of fostering children, reflecting the nurturing heart and generous love she had to give.

She found joy in gardening, had once shared her voice singing in choir, and enjoyed cosmetology. She loved scary movies and had a special affection for Halloween, her favorite holiday. There was something wonderfully fitting about Bridget's love for a holiday that celebrates imagination, creativity, and a little bit of spookiness. She embraced the things she loved and brought her own personality and enthusiasm to them.

One of the most meaningful parts of Bridget's journey was her growing relationship with God. Her faith was not simply something she believed in; it was something she strived to live. Her compassion, generosity, and concern for others reflected a heart that was growing in faith and love. Her spiritual journey was an important part of who she was, and those who loved her can take comfort in knowing that her relationship with God was becoming an increasingly beautiful part of her life.

Bridget also took great pride in her work. She was a natural leader with an exceptional work ethic. She was dependable, punctual, and welcoming to everyone who came through the door. She was the kind of person who helped others feel comfortable, especially those who were new, and she led through her actions as much as her words. Her dedication and willingness to make others feel included left an impression on those who had the privilege of working alongside her.

Above all, Bridget loved people. She cared deeply, gave freely, and found happiness in the connections she made. She may have preferred the comfort of home, but she never took for granted the people who made life meaningful. Her laughter, kindness, adventurous spirit, and the little things that made her who she was will be remembered and treasured.

Bridget is survived by her loving father, Wayland Parks, and his wife, Dona Parks; her mother, Melanie Komorowski, and her husband, Michael; her brother, Braedon Bollinger and his wife, Kirstie, Bridget’s husband, Christopher Habina, and Teyvon Clark and his wife, Serena; her uncles, Keith Meeks, Scott Bollinger and his wife Kimberley; and her nephews, Jordan Bollinger, Jaden Bollinger, and Karter Bollinger.

She is also survived by her cousins: Sebastian Bollinger, Lloyd Young and his wife, Amy; Q Young; Skylar Young; Shawna Battaglia and her husband, Chris; Jaxon Battaglia; Ryan Meeks; Eric Meeks and his wife, Lindsey; Emery Meeks; Isaac Meeks; Devra McMahan and her husband, Sean; Piper and Boston; and Aaron Bollinger-Guerra and his partner, Leo.

She leaves behind her grandparents, Vicki and Bobby Phipps, and her grandfather, Willie Parks; grandmother Lisa Wardwell, as well as her great-grandparents, Robert and Roxann Meeks. Great uncles, James Bollinger and wife Mary, and Keith Bollinger. She will also be lovingly remembered by extended family, friends, coworkers, and all those whose lives she touched.

Bridget was preceded in death by her uncle, Kerry Meeks; her grandmother, Lillie Parks; and her grandfather, Samuel Bollinger Jr.

Though our hearts are broken by her absence, we are grateful for the time we were given with Bridget. We will remember her love for her animals, her enthusiasm for Halloween, her adventurous nature, her dedication to her work, and the kindness she showed to others. We will remember the girl who loved being home, who enjoyed a good scary movie, who was always willing to welcome someone new, and who had so much love still waiting to be shared.

There is no perfect way to say goodbye to someone whose life meant so much. We can only hold close the memories, carry forward the love she gave us, and find comfort in the hope that her faith brought her.

Bridget's story does not end with goodbye. It lives on in every person she loved, every kindness she shared, every animal she cared for, and every memory that will forever bring her back to us.

She was deeply loved. She will be profoundly missed. And she will never, ever be forgotten. Even in sorrowful moments, she will continue to be the light that illuminates the darkness.

Until we meet again, Bridget.
