Alan & Bonnie Stephens

Alan Richard Stephens, 93, of Bloomington, IL, passed away on June 16, 2025. His wife, Bonnie June (Corman) Stephens, 91, passed away on March 17, 2025. They were both born in Rushville, IL. He was born the son of Paul and Golda Stephens in 1932 and she was born the daughter of Robert and Ruth Corman in 1933.

Alan and Bonnie were married on January 24, 1954, in Rushville, IL. They were married for seventy-one years.

Alan served in the U.S. Coast Guard, earned degrees in accounting and law, and held a twenty-year-career as a Special Agent with the FBI. He was also a member of the Society of Former Special Agents of the FBI for forty-two years.

In retirement, Alan enjoyed golfing and spending time with his friends and his family, especially his grandchildren. Bonnie took great satisfaction in her home, was very outgoing, and showed generous hospitality. She adored her grandchildren and her dogs.

Alan and Bonnie were both preceded in death by their parents as well as their older son, Mark. Bonnie was also preceded in death by her brother, Bob, and three infant siblings.

They are survived by their son, Brian (Rebecca), and their three grandchildren: Stephanie, Ben, and Tovah.

Bonnie and Alan were 2 of the first neighbors we met when we moved to the neighborhood. They immediately made us feel welcome. We loved spending time visiting with them both. Miss them.

We spent many dinners together along with Donna Rae and Ed Alsene. We had such a good time together. Bonnie was always here when I had surgery bringing food. Al and Jim played golf for many years together. Hugs and prayer to their family. Jim and Judy White

I had the privilege of being their doctor until my retirement. That led to a long term friendship. Al did the interview of my son who became an FBI agent. Alan said of Bonnie " she talks a mile a minute with gusts up to ninety!" That captures them both that led to a marriage of 71years. Great people.

Our deepest sympathies on Alan and Bonnie“s passing. We met them several years ago when we purchased the house next door. As we worked on making the house livable, Bonnie always made sure we had snacks and drinks and Alan shared stories of his time in the FBI. They were a very special couple. May they both rest in peace.
