Bonita J. Cutaia, a beloved wife, mother, grandmother, sister, and friend, will be remembered for her devotion to her family and the life she built alongside those she loved.
Bonita was born on May 30, 1942. She shared a beautiful life with her beloved husband, Charles Cutaia, whom she stood beside for many years as they built their family and their family business together.
Bonita spent much of her life helping her husband operate Cutaia’s Meat Market on Chili Avenue, which Charles opened in 1972. Through her dedication and hard work, she played an important role in the family business, which became more than just a place of work. It was a part of their family’s story and a place where lasting connections were made with customers and the community.
Bonita was predeceased by her beloved husband, Charles Cutaia, and her son, Charles T. Cutaia. Their memories remained an important part of her family’s story.
She is survived by her loving children, Joseph (Kim) Cutaia and Michael (Kelly) Cutaia; her cherished grandchildren, C.J., Alyssa, Sawyer, and Liliana Cutaia; her siblings and extended family; and numerous nieces and nephews.
Bonita will be deeply missed by her family, friends, and all those whose lives she touched throughout the years. Her dedication to her family, her years of hard work, and the memories she created with those she loved will continue to live on through the generations that follow her.
Though she will be dearly missed, her love and legacy will forever remain in the hearts of those who knew and loved her.
