Bonnie Kae D'Angelo, née Elman, fell sleep in death on December 26, 2023 at her home in Crown Point, IN. She was 81 years old. Bonnie was preceded in death by her brother James Elman of Munster, IN. She is survived by her husband Jay D'Angelo; two sons: Paul (Jennifer) D'Angelo of Schererville, IN; Tony (Lisa) D'Angelo of Mountain Home, AR and four grandchildren: Claire, Luke, Kate, and Gisele. Bonnie was born on February 27, 1942 to parents Nick and Katherine Elman in East Chicago, IL. She grew up in Hessville, IN and moved to Griffith in 1958. She then graduated Griffith High School in 1960. On March 9, 1967, Bonnie married her high school sweetheart Jay Franklin D'Angelo. They were married for almost 57 years. Bonnie will best be remembered for her beautiful smile and warm heart. She was a devoted wife, compassionate and loving mother, and a doting grandmother. She delighted to spend time in the kitchen cooking hearty meals and delicious desserts for family and friends. No one ever left her home hungry.
As one of Jehovah's Witnesses, Bonnie also volunteered much of her time talking to her neighbors about how God's Kingdom will provide relief to all of mankind's problems. She did so whether from house to house, by telephone, or by letters. She had strong faith in the Bible's promise of an earthly resurrection-a faith that sustained her down to the end.
Isaiah 26:19 " Your dead will live. My corpses will rise up. Awake and shout joyfully, You residents in the dust! For your dew is as the dew of the morning, And the earth will let those powerless in death come to life"
A memorial service will be held on Saturday 12/30/23 at 2:00 pm at the Highland Kingdom Hall of Jehovah's Witnesses located at 3533 Wirth Road, Highland, IN 46322. You may also view the service via ZOOM.
