Bonnie went home to heaven on Monday, April 26th, 2021 at the age of 96. Bonnie was the matriarch and rock of our family. She was well known for her entertaining skills and threw THE best parties with a generous spirit of giving, comradery, and elegance.
Bonnie was not only a loving wife, mother, grandma, great grandma, Granny, a dedicated nurse, but a friend and trusted colleague. She lived a full life of service to others not only in the communities she lived; as she had a very successful career, but also all those she loved. She led a very active social life up until the end. Bonnie touched so many that she annually received over 100 birthday cards. She had a bingo obsession that rivaled no other and took every opportunity to introduce all the grandkids to coffee and loved to have a cup with them any time she could.
Bonnie is survived by her son, Thomas (Linda); son-in-law, Robert; granddaughters, Kristy (Kendall), Kelly (Brendan), and Amanda (Bill); great-grandchildren, Peyton, MacKenzie, Garrett, Paige, Emma, and Olivia; nieces and nephews; as well as many blended family members that loved her dearly.
Bonnie is preceded in death by her beloved husband, Jim; daughter, Susan; grandson, Bobby, and great-grandson, Anthony.
