Obituary

On July 3, 1963, Bridget was born in Ikom, Cross River State, Nigeria, to Mr. Emmanuel Otang Ntiti, a diplomat(deceased), and Lady Margaret Agbor Ntiti, a school teacher.  She commenced her primary school education in Surulere, Lagos.  In 1971, following her father's diplomatic posting to Afghanistan, the family moved to Kabul, where Bridget attended the American International School Kabul (AISK).  By September of 1974, the family relocated back to Nigeria, and she enrolled at Holy Child Convent Primary School, where she obtained her First School Leaving certificate.  Bridget proceeded to Holy Child Convent Secondary School in Ikom, Cross River State, to obtain her West African School Certificate (WASC).

Bridget's love for knowledge, learning, and education led her to pursue and earn numerous degrees beginning with the Bachelor of Science degree in Geography and Regional Planning from the University of Calabar and a Masters degree in Urban and Regional Planning from the University of Ibadan, both in Nigeria.

From the '90s to 2001, Bridget worked with the now-defunct Savannah Bank in Lagos and became Junior Manager at its office on Broad Street.  She later joined Oceanic Bank, now Eco Bank, as Senior Auditor overseeing Southeast and Southwest Nigeria from 2001 to 2002.  She also doubled as Secretary of Town Planners Association of Nigeria, Lagos branch during this period. Bridget relocated to the United States in 2002 and later enrolled for a Bachelor of Science degree in Public Health at the University of North Florida (UNF), graduating in 2007. She also obtained a Master of Business Administration (MBA) from the University of Phoenix.

Before transitioning to glory, Bridget was working on obtaining her doctorate in Organizational Leadership from Nova Southeastern University. She completed all her coursework and was All But Dissertation (ABD). The college will award her a Posthumous degree, a doctorate awarded to a deceased student with the dean's approval.

Bridget was a warm, generous, and humane person who burned with the zeal to add value to humanity. In pursuit of that passion, she went to great lengths to obtain various certifications that enabled her to provide services to her community. Some of these certifications include but are not limited to Certified Nursing Assistant, Certified HIV/AIDS 500/501 Tester/Counselor, Notary Public, Certified Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR)/Automatic External Defibrillator/First Aid and Certified Lean Six Sigma, White Belt, Florida Sterling Council.  She was also a member of the Wellness Council of America and being a Tax preparer and Realtor.

Furthermore, Bridget was actively involved in her local church, a choir member at Holy Spirit Catholic Church, and the President of the Council of Catholic Women (CCW) at St. Patrick Catholic church in Jacksonville.  Her excellent leadership skills allowed her to serve as a  Admission/Discharge Coordinator for the Florida Department of Children and Families, Northeast Florida State Hospital, Macclenny, Florida. She gave of herself totally by making every minute of her life count and will be truly missed by those who had the privilege of knowing her.

On Thursday, September 2, 2021, Bridget transitioned to eternal glory at St Vincent's Ascension Hospital in Jacksonville, Florida. She leaves behind her mother, Lady Margaret, her two sisters, Veronica and Margaret, brothers-in-law, Clement and Andre, and a host of other relatives, friends, and loved ones to cherish her memories.
