Bonita Hamstra, age 81, went to be with her Lord on Sunday, October 18, 2020. She was preceded in death by her husband, Kenneth Hamstra. She is survived by her children Pam Stevens, Ken (Sharon) Hamstra, Doug Hamstra, Craig (Leah) Hamstra, and Kelli (Craig) Tipton; 11 grandchildren; six great-grandchildren; and many nieces, nephews, and friends.
Along with raising her five children and a grandson, Bonita spent 25 years providing daycare, often caring for three generations of kids. She made a difference in the lives of many kids who would come back years later to thank her. To many she was affectionately known as “Auntie Bon."
