Bridget Schaffer, a loving wife, mother, daughter, sister and friend, passed away peacefully at the St. Cloud Hospital surrounded by her loved ones. She was the daughter of Don Rothstein and Rosy Erickson. Bridget was born and raised in St. Cloud, Minnesota. She graduated from Apollo High School in 1986. She was employed by St. Cloud Ear, Nose and Throat at the time of her passing.
Bridget’s greatest joy in life was her family. She shared a devoted marriage of 21 years with her husband, Mike and was a proud and loving mother to her daughter, Kylee. Her kindness, strength, warmth, and unwavering love touched everyone who knew her.
She is survived by her husband, Mike; daughter, Kylee; her mother, Rosy Erickson; and her siblings, Jeff Rothstein, Michele Boyd, Gary Gruba, Diane Gau, and Brian Rothstein. She also leaves behind many extended family members and friends who will cherish her memory and carry her love in their hearts.
Bridget will be remembered for her caring spirit, her dedication to her family and her strong will and perseverance when she battled cancer and the loved she shared will remain forever.
Her family finds comfort in knowing that she was surrounded by love during her final moments. If ever you find yourself being asked, “Do you want to build a snowman?” You should answer “ABSOLUTELY!”
