WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. When Bridgid Rose Flynn Ross was a teenager, she took horseback riding lessons with her
sister Deirdre at Clover Hill Farm in Williamstown. Deirdre has great form, the riding instructor said, but Bridgid is one with the horse. The observation captured Bridgid s uncanny gift. She was someone who connected so deeply with animals and nature that, as a child, she would bottle-feed orphaned mice in her dresser drawer. Throughout her life, she took in animals in need of rescuing, much like the Irish saint for whom she was named.
She invested the same care in her family, nurturing her three beloved sons and grandchildren.
