Our dearest Mom left this world peacefully on April 24, 2019, age 85, with her loving family by her side. Her tenacious spirit, determination, love, and the grace with which she lived her life will be her legacy to her family, and those who loved her.
‘Bonnie’ as she was lovingly known throughout her life was the youngest of nine children born to the late Harry and Jenny Palmer in Oxford Junction, NS.
Bonnie is survived by her husband of 63 years, Colin, her son Greg (Linda), daughter Cheryl Thompson(Craig), the proud and loving grandmother of Carly Reed (Logan MacDonald), Kris Reed, and her sole remaining sister, Della Hamel, and a treasure of family, nieces, nephews, and close friends.
Bonnie was predeceased by her sisters, Irene, Birdena, Hilda, Grace, Norma, and brothers Oscar and Walter.
Bonnie and Colin spent many memorable post-retirement years travelling the world with close friends and family to destinations in the British Isles, Europe, Australia, and New Zealand. These two world travellers always returned to their beloved Hawaii where they spent so many special moments together.
Cremation has taken place. Visitation will be held at the JA Snow Funeral Home, 339 Lacewood Drive, Halifax, NS on Wednesday, May 1, 2019 between 1:00pm and 4:00pm.
Private family interment to follow at a later date.
Special thanks to the staff of Drummond Hall, second floor, for their care and compassion during this difficult period.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Canadian Cancer Society, a charity of your choice, or plant some flowers to celebrate Bonnie’s life.
