Bonnie Jean Hodge

My dear, sweet sister, Bonnie, known to me and to my friends as Arizona Bonnie or AZB. So many words describe her. Shy and timid as a child. Intelligent. Faithful. Talented and artistic in drawing, painting, needlework, music and poetry. Nurturing and caring to her children and family. Sensitive, gentle and full of humor. Friend and confidant. But most of all, BRAVE. This timid young woman married and moved half way around the world. This sensitive soul bravely fought for her health...

Many years have passed since Bonnie and I attended Tawas Area High School together but as I think back to those over fifty year memories, it seems like yesterday. I remember Bonnie as a sweet, fun-loving girl who I was happy to call my friend. What good times we had in band (the halftime shows and band trips, etc.) and Luther League what with the Winter Retreats and get-togethers with the other church youth groups in Tawas! If there was a job to be done, Bonnie was there to pitch in with...

I am so happy that I was able to see Aunt Bonnie again when she was in Tawas. I know how much mom & dad looked forward to those visits too.

Aunt Bonnie opened her home and heart to myself and my family on more than one occasion over the the years. We will all miss you. Dan, Kelly, David, Hollyann, and Mike Martin.

My sympathies and prayers to the family. I just wish I had gotten to meet her. Hugs to all! Susan Patterson(TX.)

MY PRAYERS ARE WITH YOU AT THIS TIME.

Knowing Bonnie over the years is a
treasured memory and experience for me.
She was truly a blessing to friends and
family, and deserved all the love and
respect she was given!
