Bonnie Lee Redalen Jones died on August 3, 2025. She was born in Preston, Minnesota, and later moved with her parents and three sisters to Rochester, Minnesota where she graduated from Mayo High School in 1968. She attended Augsburg College where she studied nursing.
Bonnie married Scott Jones in May of 1970. They moved to the Twin Cities area where she worked for the Federal Reserve and was active in the Junior League. In 1977, they relocated to Key West, Florida, where Bonnie opened four retail stores on Duval Street. In her free time she enjoyed playing tennis, boating, traveling, and hosting friends.
In 1982, they moved to Winter Park, Florida, where they raised their only child, Heather. Bonnie opened a retail store on Park Avenue called Persnickity. Later, she joined Scott in their Real Estate & Property Management business. Bonnie was a loving mother and very involved with Heather's activities and education.
Bonnie's greatest joy was her family, and she was blessed with three grandsons, whom she adored. She loved hosting family dinners, baking, gardening and spending time on the lake with them. Bonnie will be remembered for her entrepreneurial spirit, warmth, generosity and devotion to her loved ones.
She is survived by her husband of 55 years, J. Scott Jones, daughter Cynthia Heather Jones Seiler (Chad), grandsons Chadwick Donovan Seiler, Scott Lancaster Seiler, and Bennett Lee Seiler, and her sister LaDonna Redalen Jewson (Bill) along with many nieces and nephews.
A Memorial service will be held at All Saints Episcopal Church, 338 E. Lyman Avenue, Winter Park, on Monday, August 18th, 2025 at 2:00 PM.

Bonnie was the sweetest friend to me. I loved to listen to her talk about her adventures and stories about her fashion businesses in Key West and Winter Park. She always commented on my outfits with what I always thought was Southern charm. Then I learned she was from Minnesota! What a lovely lady she was. My condolences to Scott and Heather's family.
Bonnie was loved by so many.

To the Scott Jones family: We´re sending our deepest sympathies to all. We will always remember Bonnie as friendly, fun and kind. She never forgot chocolates for Carl which he enjoyed tremendously and appreciated her kindness. We pray that the peace and comfort of the Almighty LORD will enfold you and bless you.
