It is with great sadness that we announce the peaceful passing of our loving mother, devoted wife, and greatest grandmother, Violet (Burton) Bonner, 72, on February 19, 2009, at the Cape Breton Regional Hospital, Sydney, surrounded by the love of her family.

She is also survived by one sister, Florence Blackie, Sydney Mines. She will be sadly missed by her six grandchildren, Sam and Steven Anderson, Virginia and Eric Bateman, and Ashley and Shelby Bonner.
Our mother was a wonderful loving person who loved to be surrounded by family. She loved to spend time with her grandchildren. She had many nieces and nephews who she loved dearly and looked forward to seeing at family gatherings, and always welcomed visits from her many family and friends.
Besides her parents, Violet was predeceased by her brothers, George, Murdock, and John Burton; sisters, Margaret Hollingsworth, Ann MacNeil and Sadie MacDonald; a very precious grand niece, Cindy Gilbert, and her daughter-in-law, Anne Mae MacKinnon.
