Maxine Bonanno

Maxine was predeceased by her loving husband Joe (2005). She was the loving mother and best friend of Karen (Randy) and the world’s biggest fan and devoted “gram” to grand-daughters Charlotte and Madeline.

She is survived by her sister Viola and her brothers John (Lovina) and Reid and was predeceased by her sisters Margaret, Bernice, Audrey and Gail.

Mom, you and Dad gave us the best life we could ever have imagined. Your love, support and belief in us will stay with us forever. We love and miss you more than any words on paper could ever say. If I have one wish it’s that you and Dad are sitting down right now, with a cup of tea, planning your next garden.

One where the hydrangeas always bloom (no matter what kind of spring we have!) where the lilies face the yard and the weeds are few and far between. Someday, I’ll join you to help weed and cut the grass – when I’m all finished doing it here. Until then, I’ll keep you both close in our garden.

The family will receive friends at the MacKinnon Family Funeral Home, “Shoemaker Chapel”, 55 Mill Street East, Acton on Wednesday, November 14th from 3 to 5 p.m. and 7 to 9 p.m.

Parish prayers will take place at 4:30 p.m.

Friends are invited to meet the family at St. Joseph, Patron of Canada, Roman Catholic Church, 64 Church Street East, Acton on Thursday at eleven o’clock, where the Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated by Father Robert Hétu. The interment will follow at Fairview Cemetery Acton.

Remembrances to the Canadian Cancer Society would be appreciated by the family.
