September 14, 1981 — September 6, 2020

Bridget Nicole Mack, 38, of Livingston, Montana passed away on Sunday, September 6, 2020 following a longtime struggle with multiple health issues.Bridget was born on September 14, 1981 in Willmar, Minnesota the youngest child of Wallace Arvid and Carolyn Kay (Alexander) Gilbertson. She attended Willmar Senior High School graduating with the class of 2000. She went on to attend Ridgewater College training for a career in nursing. She worked as a CNA in New London and St. Cloud Minnesota. While living in St. Cloud Bridget suffered a heart attack and a stroke. It was discovered that Bridget suffered from congenial heart defects.She made the choice to move to Yellowstone National Park to live and work and enjoy her time on this earth. She worked for Xanterra, which is the concessioner in YNP, serving at their hotels and restaurants. She met Shaun Mack while working in the park. They were united in marriage on November 14, 2010. She and Shaun have since been residing in Livingston, Montana where Bridget again worked as a CNA.When we think of Bridget we think of love. She loved her family deeply and cared not for herself but always put others first. She was funny and quick witted, usually leaving us as the butt of her jokes. We know we were blessed by the years she had with the health issues she dealt with but still her amazing presence will be tremendously missed.
