Bonita Lou Dunlap

Born on July 19, 1953, in Island Falls, Maine, Bonnie grew up with a deep appreciation for family, hard work, and the beauty of life’s simple joys. She went on to pursue a career in nursing, where she devoted herself to caring for others with compassion and kindness.

Bonnie was the beloved wife of over 40 years to Henry Dunlap, with whom she shared a life full of love, laughter, and adventure. She was a devoted mother to Michele Pipes Martin (Nathan Martin) and Michael Pipes (Jennifer Pipes), and a proud and loving grandmother to Nicholas Martin, Samuel Pipes, Logan Martin, and Brooke Pipes. She was also a second mother to Nikki DeLong, whom she loved dearly. Her family was her greatest joy, and she cherished every moment spent with them.

She is survived by her loving husband, Henry Dunlap, her mother, Hazel Brewer of Island Falls, Maine; her siblings, Cecil Brewer of Port St. Lucie, Florida, Amanda Brewer Casey and her husband Michael of Harrison, Maine, and Gary Brewer and his wife Christine of Drew’s Lake, Maine; as well as multiple nieces and nephews and many close friends who will cherish her memory.

She had a passion for cooking, baking, crafting, quilting, traveling, and spending time in nature. Her favorite places were the Great Smoky Mountains National Park and Acadia National Park, where she also spent time volunteering. Bonnie found happiness in creativity and took pride in the beautiful things she made with her hands. For the past 30 years, she called Port St. Lucie, Florida home, where she especially enjoyed tending to her orchids, roses and gardening.

Bonnie was preceded in death by her father, Thomas Brewer, and her first husband, Michael Pipes.

Bonnie will be remembered for her warmth, her adventurous spirit, and the deep love she had for her family. She brought light and joy to those around her and leaves behind a legacy of love that will continue to live on in the hearts of all who knew her. She will be deeply missed and forever loved.

A Celebration of her Life will be held on May 30th, 2026 from 11am-2pm at Veterans Park at Rivergate located at 2202 SE Veterans Memorial Pkwy, Port Saint Lucie, FL 34952
