Bridgette O'Neal

Bridgette was the beloved daughter of Cencil and Atwill O’Neal. She was born January 9, 1960 in Los Angeles, California and raised in Junction City, Kansas. She attended Junction City, Kansas Schools and matriculated to the University of Kansas.

She went on to embark in a meaningful professional career in Marketing and was fortunate to develop her strengths within major marketing companies such as: Conde Nast Publications, Johnson Publications, Time Warner and many others. Bridgette later pursued a career with Diversity and Equity Inclusion Corporations such as IPG H + K. She currently held the position as Director of Diversity and Equity Inclusion with Gensler Corporation. She expressed to family and friends as having found her “dream job” with coworkers that were more like family. This job highlighted the passion she had for equal rights among us all. Her strong Christian faith from childhood, attending Second Missionary Baptist Church in Junction City, Kansas, was instrumental in igniting a passion for equality.

Bridgette was kind, generous and many will remember her for her encouraging spirit. She passed away peacefully on January 4, 2022. Her father, grandparents, uncles and aunts preceded her in death.

She leaves to cherish her memory; her loving mother, Atwill O’Neal; two sisters, Sonya Goodwin and Jacqueline Jones; and a host of aunts, uncles, cousins, other family and friends and her inclusive work families, Gensler Corporation family.
