BONNIE MAINIERO Obituary

Bonnie M. Mainiero, 76, of Sun City in Huntley, died peacefully in her home on February 8, 2022, with her husband Jack at her side. Bonnie was born in Bakersfield, California on November 20, 1945, to parents Irving and Eleanor (nee Kopischke) Ford, Sr. Bonnie married Jack Mainiero on September 18, 2007, and the couple has been happily married ever since. Bonnie and Jack loved music and frequently attended concerts together. Bonnie loved to cook traditional Italian dishes, and nothing brought her more joy than feeding her family. She had an eye for decorating and dedicated time to decorating her dream home with Jack. Bonnie had the biggest heart and was an incredibly sweet, honest, and loving woman who will be dearly missed by all who knew her. Bonnie is survived by her beloved husband, Jack Mainiero, her three sons, Charles (Julie) Columbia, Robert (Cynthia) Columbia, and Michael Columbia, her grandchildren, Ashley, David, Frankie, and Kaitlyn, her great-grandchildren, Marlee and Jude, her brother William Ford, and her sister-in-law, Donna Ford.
