Bonnie M. Aube

1944 - 2021

Bonnie Milne Aube, of Avon, CT, a loving wife, mother, grandmother, sister and friend, passed away peacefully on October 26, 2021, after a long and courageous battle with Lymphoma. Bonnie was born on April 25, 1944, in Torrington, CT to Marion and Carl Newton. It was at Torrington High School where she met the love of her life and husband of 56 years, Richard Alan Aube (Dirk), who continues to live in Farmington Woods in Avon, CT. Bonnie was a special person who gave generously of herself to her family, friends and the community around her. Bonnie was happiest when she and Dirk were enjoying their grandchildren over meals, playing cards, at sporting events, and telling stories on the front porch. She was everyone's first call with a funny story to share, a question about how to make monkey bread, or when in need of a shoulder to lean on. She was also at home on the golf course with Dirk, and her many friends and in her garden, where she lovingly cared for her plants and flowers. With her beautiful smile and smiling eyes, Bonnie lit up a room when she entered. She will be sorely missed by all those (and there are many!) who loved her. Bonnie is survived by her two sons, Richard Aube, Jr. (Molly Aube) and Andy Aube (Jeanna Aube), grandchildren Hannah, Mitch, Haley, Claire, Mac and Andy, sisters Peg and Pat, and nieces and nephews Jen, Kate, Mike and Ben. Special thanks to the wonderful doctors and nurses at UConn Hospital who cared for our dear Bonnie and made her feel like the uniquely special person that she was. At her request, there will be a celebration of Bonnie's life at a time and place to be announced at a later date. The Carmon Funeral Home & Family Center of Avon is entrusted with the family's arrangements.
