Bonnie and Kent wed in May of 1977, celebrating a beautiful 45 years of Marriage in 2022. Bonnie was a true friend, wife, and partner to Kent and they had the recipe for a life-long love story.
After her retirement in 1994, Bonnie spent time in places she cherished with people she loved, doing things that brought her absolute joy. She celebrated her love of music singing amongst the vibrant and passionate women of The Ambiance Singers in Mississauga from mid 1990's to mid 2000's.

Also a life-long hobbyist, Bonnie was known for her knitting and crafts, regularly making holiday decorations (to add to her very large Santa collection), celebration cards, home décor and jewelry.
Bonnie was also known for her love of sports, particularly with her loyal following to the Toronto Blue Jays. She valued her local community and the many friends she has made in Loyalist Township over the years, She was a recent member of the Bath and District Lions Club of Canada.
Bonnie is also survived by her dog Panda, whom she loved dearly. She was a friend of all dogs, and is predeceased by her dogs Spick & Span, and Peaches & Cream.
Above all, Bonnie loved people and having a good time. We will miss her more than words can say.
