Bridget Donnelly
Bridget comes by her passion honestly – helping others deal with their stuff. As the daughter of antique dealers, she tolerated an endless stream of treasures coursing through her home, which was downsized regularly to accommodate new finds. Her family moved frequently, but unconventionally – carload-by-carload. After her father sold the chandelier over the dining table during one Thanksgiving dinner, her mother resorted to placing “Not For Sale” stickers on the furnishings.
Upon graduation, Bridget took a traditional job in corporate marketing and advertising. She earned frequent promotions and was relocated around the US, via professional movers, into tidy, uncluttered apartments. She was very happy.
Motherhood followed, then reinvention of the unlikeliest sorts: upon successfully liquidating her children’s accumulation of small plastic toys, Bridget found herself running her own antique shop, and designing custom furniture.
An opportunity to help a senior couple liquidate their art collection thrust Bridget into her current business. She closed her shop, earned her certifications as a Personal Property Appraiser, Senior Move Manager and Estate Liquidator and began helping others downsize, liquidate and cope with the stresses of moving.
Since 2008, Donnelly’s Estate Liquidation & Appraisal Services, LLC has been serving the needs of older adults in transition. Bridget’s background and experiences uniquely equip her to assist her clients with compassion and optimal results.
Bridget is a Pennsylvania State University (PSU) grad with a B.S. in marketing. She and Bill are fortunate to live in State College, PA. Bridget speaks frequently and has published numerous articles on topics related to downsizing and senior transitions.
