Bridget Houghton (née Phillips)
November 22, 2023
It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Bridget on Wednesday, November 22, 2023 with her family by her side, at the age of 79. Bridget was born in Petersfield, England and married her husband Robin in 1963. They immigrated to Canada with their daughter in 1966.
Bridget is survived by loving husband, Robin; daughter, Dawn; son-in-law, Darrell; granddaughter, Ashley; and a large extended family in Canada and the UK. She is predeceased by her parents Cecil and Gladys.
Bridget was a trailblazer in home construction design, business and real estate, breaking stereotypes in many industries, especially for women. She was committed to youth development through her leadership in Girl Guides of British Columbia as District Commissioner, and as a Commissioned Officer in the Canadian Armed Forces, supporting the 861 Air Cadet Squadron.
Bridget was a very successful Realtor, Broker and Manager in BC with the Fraser Valley Real Estate Board establishing the Professional of the Year Award in her name. In 2018, she officially retired to enjoy time with family.
Bridget will be greatly missed by her family, friends, and colleagues across the country. Funeral service will be conducted at Westview Funeral Chapel, 709 Wonderland Road North, London, on Friday, December 1, 2023 at 1:00 p.m., with visitation one hour prior. A livestream of the service will be available for those unable to attend in person.
