Bridget Ranne passed away peacefully in Worcester, Massachusetts on March 3rd, 2025, after complications from a surgical procedure. She survived by her daughter Nicole Parella of Grafton, Massachusetts, her son, Jesse Chouinard of Worcester, Massachusetts, and her father Richard Ranne of Florida. Bridget also survived by close and loving friends Ross and Jean. Most cherished was her loyal companion, Sasha, a 4-year-old Bichon Frise puppy.
Bridget was predeceased by her partner, Kevin Parella, who passed in 1998 (the father of Nicole). Bridget now joins her love, Kevin in the afterlife for eternal joy and love.
Bridget’s favorite musical artist was Steven Tyler of Aerosmith and loved her car which was a 1990’s Pontiac Firebird. She was a rocker and muscle car woman at heart. Her favorite breakfast place was Parkway Diner on Shrewsbury Street in Worcester. Her favorite pastime was re-watching ER Episodes as Anthony Edwards and George Clooney saved lives as she ate her favorite chocolate peanut butter ice cream in pajamas.
Bridget was a caregiver. She studied her associate nursing degree at Becker College and worked tirelessly at Saint Vincent’s Hospital to provide for her children back at home. This was to ensure a roof stayed over her children’s heads and food was always on the table. Life was not easy raising two kids as a single mother, but Bridget did her best. While Bridget retired from nursing many years ago due to physical injury, she maintained her nursing license up until she passed away.
With the laughs, love and care from her children by her side, caregivers that took care of her and others that visited during her final days will echo positively for an eternity in her afterlife. We wish to remind everyone that she is not gone; rather, she is still here with us as Bridget’s song will ring with every beat of our hearts.
At the request of the family, Bridget’s services will be held privately. To leave an online condolence message, please click guestbook link.
