Bonnie was a special member of our class and leaves enduring memories with us.  We were all fortunate that she came into our lives and will miss her.  Do take care of yourself, Adrian.  We lost my father to Alzheimer's, and we have a sense of what you and your family have had to go through.  We're thinking of you.

I will always treasure the last conversation I had with her while standing in line at Joann Fabrics. All time favorite teacher! So sorry for your loss.

This is beautiful Allison and Leesa. I love you very much.

Bonnie Stevens was my daughters home room teacher 6th,7th and 8th grade at Post Middle School.  I remember Bonnie calling me in the fall before Katie started the 8th grade. She asked if it was ok if she had Katie in her class again for her final year of middle school. I laughed, and said I couldn't be happier.  She was my daughters "school mom". I knew my girl was in great hands. Bonnie Stevens was just exactly the person my daughter needed in her middle school years. My sympathy and best wishes to all her family. She was a special lady.

Leesa,

So sorry to hear about the passing of your Mom.  I still have great memories of sleepovers at your house when we were kids.  Your parents were so kind.  Much love to you and your family.

So sorry for your loss of one of my favorite teachers in Arlington; Class of 74.

Our sympathy to you, Adrian, and your daughters, Leesa and Allison.  She was a Jewel and your obituary expressed your love for her beautifully.  Not only did she have a beautiful face but a beautiful personality.

Adrian, Leesa & Allison, hurts to hear of Bonnie's passing. A good time cousin; grew up next door to her & Rock on Wetmore. Always enjoyed family picnics at your home in Marysville. Will miss her.

Oh Adrian and daughters, I'm so very, very sorry to learn of Bonnie's death.  It was not too long ago that I saw you both at Costco and you told me about your place over East.  May you find comfort in loving memories and may the Lord bless you all at this time.  Again, hearfelt condolences.

Miss Bailey was my Homeroom teacher the year she got married.  I remember her sharing stories of her brother Rock and how she invited us all to her wedding.  She was absolutely one of my very favorite teachers and I owe a lot of what I learned in English to her.  She will be very much missed, as I have missed her since I got out of school.  I have often thought about her.  So sorry for your loss.  She was a wonderful person.

Bonnie was one of my favorite teachers in Junior High at Arlington. My condolences to all her family and friends.

One of my favorite teachers of all time. 7th grade in '68-'69. I think it was Bonnie's 3rd year of teaching. i still remember some of the stories she told our class. Mrs. Stevens was also one of my Mom's favorite people while she was the secretary at the Jr. High during those years.

Bonnie was the shining star among so many others.  A teacher, a friend, a person, a mother who was always there for everyone.  We shared so many laughs for many years both as co-workers in the Arlington School District and after that as friends.  Heartfelt regards to her entire family and network of dear friends.  Katherine Hess

So sorry to hear of your tremendous loss. Glad I got to know you and my cousin Bonnie better these past years. She was a real gem for sure, always interested and inquisitive about everyone and everything, always smiling, nice and friendly to everyone. The heartfelt comments from everyone speak to the wonderful person, friend, teacher, neighbor, relative, and lady she truly was.

I will never forget attending school with Bonnie..She always kept everyone laughing.  Lorene Lewellen Stone

We extend our heartfelt sympathy to Bonnie's family and will always remember her dedication and delight teaching middle school kids.

I remember going to my aunt's house a lot when I was growing up. I remember Halloween parties where everyone dressed up and played games. She always opened her home up for family gatherings. I remember wild blackberry picking in Index. I know my aunt is an angel watching over her previous daughters Leesa and Allison and my Uncle.  I know she is with her beautiful granddaughter Georgia right now.

I was fortunate enough to have Mrs. Stevens as my homeroom teacher all three years of middle school. She was an incredible teacher, an amazing person and she truly made my 6th, 7th and 8th grade years a joy. I loved her and I am so sorry for your loss.

I really enjoyed Mrs. Stevens as a teacher.  I haven't seen her since Jr. High.  So sorry for your loss!

You will be missed Bonnie. We were kids together and you had great parents and a nice brother.i have fun memories of slumber parties and Days at McKee Beach and Kayak Pt. RIP dear lady.love Dottie

I lived next door or across the street from Bonnie and Adrian for 45 years.She will be missed.My thoughts are with Adrian and the girls.

Leesa & Allison,
I used to kid your mother about how lucky she was to have a brother & I only had a sister. But what a wonderful sister she was & I will love her the rest of my life. We are so heartbroken that we didn't have a chance to say goodbye. Love you & those dear to you. You are in our thoughts.

I grew up just across the street from Bonnie, Adrian & thier daughters.  Bonnie was always pleasant and had a smile for the neighborhood kids. Prayers for the family.

Such a dear hard working lady and kind neighbor - we will miss her.

Adrian,
Enjoyed knowing you and Bonnie when you and I taught together at Cascade and then teaching with her at Post Middle School. Sorry to hear of her passing.

I love my aunt Bonnie so much...I went through a difficult time in my life and turned to her. I confided my heart to her. She was there for me, never judging, or criticizing me. She looked at me with her caring eyes and just listened. I am heartbroken.   Leesa and Allison...i am here for you...your big cousin, cheryl

My heart is heavy as I read of Bonnie's passing-such a great lady and it was an honor to work with her on the site council for Marysville Alternative High School.  She will be missed

Leesa & family,
We are so sorry to hear about your sweet mom's passing. We are remembering you and your family in our thoughts and prayers as you go through this difficult time.
