Frances Bonacci Obituary

Bonacci, Frances Antoinette

Frances Antoinette Bonacci, 74, of West Haverstraw, NY, passed away suddenly on Friday, September 13, 2013. Frances was born on November 16, 1938 in the Bronx, NY to the late Aurora and Peter Spaccaforno. Beloved wife of the late, Louis Paul Bonacci, Frances was a devoted mother and is survived by two children: her son, Peter L. Bonacci, Sr. and her daughter, Franny Bonacci. She was affectionately known as "Nana Inside" to her grandson, Peter L. Bonacci, Jr., son of Peter L. Bonacci, Sr. and his wife, Frances A. Cavallo-Bonacci. She was a loving sister to Nina Seeman and her husband, Rudy, and a loving Godmother and Aunt to their daughter, Monica. Frances is survived by many relatives and friends.

She was good-natured, helpful and loved by all who knew her. Not a day would go by when Frances was not worrying about someone and making sure they were taken care of. She was a selfless person and will be greatly missed!

You have my deepest sympathy for the loss of your dear mother. May you call upon God at this great time of sorrow. He will help you to cope with your loss. (Psalm 145:18)

So sorry to hear that Fran has passed away. I only got to know her before Hurricane Sandy last year and she showed such concern for the neighbors. Saw her working at the local drug store and she was a very kind and patient lady. Sympathy to her family and friends.
