Bonnie Jane Heredia, 65, of Nampa, passed away on December 14, 2013 at home surrounded by her loving husband Ruben, her sister Janett, brother in law Ramiro Heredia and great niece Alexus Heredia.
Bonnie was born to Donald Lee and Lois Bonnie Dale in Nampa, Idaho on May 30, 1948. Bonnie attended Nampa schools and graduated from Nampa High School in 1966. In 1965 she married Gary Hileman and from this union came three girls, Wanda, Michelle and Teresa.
In 1977 Bonnie married the love of her life, Ruben C. Heredia in Yakima, Washington. Bonnie was then blessed with six step children, which she loved like her own, Juana, Jose Luis, Tina, Joel, Consuelo and Ramiro. Bonnie loved her family and friends beyond words, but had a special bond with her sister Janett and her family. Janett's kids were more like Bonnie's grandchildren than nephews and nieces.
Bonnie loved being a wife and a mother. Bonnie and Ruben made their way back to Idaho where they lived the next 36 years. She enjoyed crocheting, flowers, gardening and feeding her quail. Bonnie truly enjoyed all that Mother Nature had to offer. Bonnie had a strong faith in God.

Heredia, her daughters Wanda, Michelle and Teresa Hileman and their families, her sisters Betty (Ron) Beers of Winston, Oregon, Janett (Ramiro) Heredia of Nampa, Idaho and brother Jack Adamson of Nampa, Idaho and their families.
