Bonnie was the first one to welcome me to the neighborhood. She and Dan have been great neighbors for almost 30 years. I will miss our casual conversations in the driveway, which were full of humorous observations and words of wisdom.
God bless her and her family.
Bonnie was a second mother to me growing up, you could always count on a great Halloween, or Birthday party with her around. I remember the awesome treasure hunts she would send us kids on me (Kim) Danette,Guy (porch) Chris, Doug, and Jason. Thanks to Bonnie for wonderful childhood memories. Never spit and never say shut up. I love you Bonnie Say hi to my mom.
Bon thanks for all the wonderful years ! my dad Gary Fisher will truly miss her fun spirit and friendship for more then 40 years. Rest in peace the Fisher family.
Bonnie was the best at organizing games and getting everyone involved. I enjoyed Christmas get-togethers at Dan and Bon’s, it wont be the same without her.
Bonnie laughed easily. She loved life and she loved children- most especially her own. The world has lost a wonderful person! My deepest condolences to Dan, Danette, and Guy and their families.
Bonnie my first level cousin was always special to me as she would always reply to one of my pranks with a stern “Thomas!?!” I will miss her wit and stern remarks as she was always fun to be around. What a wonderful person she was and will be with when we me again in the loving arm of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
Bon, I hope there are garage sales in heaven so you, DeeDee and Don can hit them all. We will miss you and your wonderful personality,
Bon, I’m sure you and my mom are up in heaven right now having a party (beer and cigarettes included). We will miss you here…but know Heaven gained another angel. xoxoxoxo
I loved when Bonnie shared stories of her & Dan’s first married years out on the farm. She had a gift to see the humor in everything! It brings a smile to my face to think of the welcome she received in Heaven! I know my Mom, Fluffy, was one of the first in line!!
Aunt Bonnie, I will miss your quick wit and humor. Say Hi to the rest of our family in heaven. With much Love, Your Niece Judy
