Bridget was born in Cloonagh, Cloonfrilough, County Roscommon, Ireland, and emigrated to the United States from Queenstown on the Campania, which sailed on 7 August 1898. In the 1900 census she is listed as being a servant in Kings County, NY. She joined the Sisters of Charity within the next two years and devoted her life to hospital work where she was well-liked and well-respected by all who knew her.

She passed away there at the age of 72 after waging a fierce battle to recover from a stroke. Sister Zita, as she was known to her peers and the community, had become a US citizen in 1933.
