Bridget Ann Small

Bridget Ann Small, born on November 26, 1963, was a radiant soul who touched the lives of all who had the privilege to know her. With her passing on January 13, 2026, the world has lost a remarkable individual whose spirit cannot be replicated. Bridget was not just a friend to many but also a pillar of strength and support, always going the extra mile for her customers, a testament to her dedication in both her career and personal life.

Known for her bubbly personality, Bridget had an infectious smile that could light up any room. She embodied kindness and openness, always ready to lend a helping hand to those in need. Her generosity was boundless; she would give you the shirt off her back without a second thought. Bridget found joy in the simplest of things and was constantly uplifting others with her warmth and compassion.

A proud cat mom, Bridget cherished the companionship of her feline friends, who were an integral part of her life. In her free time, she enjoyed camping and making memories in Gatlinburg, where the beauty of nature matched the beauty of her spirit. She had a passion for car shows, where she not only showcased her interests but also actively participated in collecting for the Crusade for Children, demonstrating her commitment to her community by donating her time and resources.

Bridget's proudest accomplishments were her family and her deep-seated desire to take care of friends. She nurtured her loved ones with unwavering strength and devotion, always putting their needs before her own. Her legacy will live on through each person who had the pleasure of crossing paths with her.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Thomas Jeffries and Linda Horton; grandparents, Otto and Elsie Jeffries; sister, Brenda Kay Jeffries and brother, David Edward Jeffries. 

Bridget leaves to cherish her memories, her husband, Mike Small; brothers, Donnie ( Bridget) Jeffries and Gene Ireland; step-son, Devon Sharp; step-father, Buck Horton; niece, Tiffany Long; nephews, Nicholas (Brittany) Jeffries and Jessie Ireland; uncle, Dave Jeffries; aunt, Wanda (Larry) Riggs and a host of other family and friends. 

A visitation will be held on February 1, 2026, from 1:00 PM to 7:00 PM at Newcomer Funeral Home, Southwest Louisville, located at 10304 Dixie Hwy, Louisville, KY, 40272. This will be followed by a heartfelt funeral service starting at 6:00 PM that same day, allowing friends and family to come together to celebrate Bridget's beautiful life and the love she shared with all.

Though Bridget may no longer walk among us, the memories she created and the love she gave will forever resonate in our hearts. We invite everyone who knew her to hold her spirit close and honor her memory in the days to come. As we bid farewell to a beloved friend, wife, step-mother, sister, daughter, aunt and caregiver, we are reminded of the impact one person can make in the lives of many.

In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to WHAS Crusade for Children, 520 W. Chestnut Street, Louisville, KY 40202 in Bridget's memory.
