Besides her father Edgar she was predeceased by her sister Lynda. Thank you Trish Foley for being mom’s best friend and being there for her when she needed you most. She loved you dearly. How can you describe Bonnie in a just few words…well, you can’t, you would have to know her personally. Although she said it best: “I’m Bonnie by name and Bonnie by nature”.Bonnie’s smile was infectious and once you were her friend, you were a friend for life. Those who knew Bonnie will always remember her as a brave strong woman who deeply loved her family and was always proud of them. She never wavered from her steadfast values. She was infused with a unique and unmistakable sense of humour. Bonnie is an angel and a blessing to us all. The greatest gifts Bonnie ever received was from her daughter-in-law Vanessa: Jack and Sam Calp.
Norman and his children would like to invite their family and friends to join them in a celebration of Bonnie’s life to be held at Fundy Funeral Home, 230 Westmorland Road (646-2424) on June 14th, 2011.
