Before retiring I had the pleasure of knowing Bonnie for several years, where we both worked at Shutts & Bowen. She had such a sweet and upbeat personality. I know she will be missed by all who knew her.

I worked with Bonita. Bonnie was so special to me. We went through our first fight with cancer together, although they were different types, she was so supportive. She is one of the kindest people I’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting. I will miss her dearly. My condolences to her family and you all will forever be in my thoughts and prayers. Bonnie now has the same address as my mother and I hope she runs into my mom in God’s house. Blessings, Tracy

Mary Farmer says
My thoughts and prayers are with the family, and I am so sorry for your loss. Bonnie was a remarkable woman – intelligent, cheerful, vibrant, thoughtful – just a wonderful person that I am so pleased to have known. I began at Shutts as Bonnie was just coming back from her initial treatment and she always was smiling, helpful, a kind and loving person. We both lost German Shepherds close to the same time and Bonnie comforted me with a beautiful note about the Rainbow Bridge. She loved her babies in life and I know her babies were waiting at the Rainbow Bridge to see her again and she and all are free from any pain. May God Bless and keep you.
