I met Bonita back in the late 90's when she was at several off- Season Training Camps for Basketball Officials, especially Women's College Basketball. Her goal was to help make each Basketball Official the best they could be, regardless of their level. I and many others will miss you.

Bonita was an inspiration to my in becoming a basketball official.. My son fell in love with her in the WNBA and was also a ball boy for Rutgers women's team. He loved when she worked there and she knew him by name. We'll miss her.
