Bonnie was my babysitter when I was in kindergarten. If you couldn't be with your Mom or Dad after school at age 5, then Bonnie's house was the next best thing. She taught me how to ride a bike, play double solitaire, and countless other things. I remember great snacks of graham crackers with frosting and her gentle caring when I was sick or had other mishaps. My condolences to her family during this difficult time.

Dear Debbie, Brian and families

I was so shocked and saddened to read about your mom's passing. I have many fond memories of her from Benbow, many, many years ago. I only hope that the warm memories and fun times you all enjoyed together will help comfort you during this very difficult time. Take care of yourselves and allow time to heal.

Love, Pam

We first met Bonnie (Bill) at Benbow CA in 1979 when she lived in Eureka, We had many fun times both at her place and at Benbow every summer when we travelled down from the High Arctic. We will always fondly remember Bonnie as a very kind and caring person, one particular time at a barbeque at her place in Eureka and her dog "Sadie", whom she used to make "smile" for us..the many camping outings on the beach at Eureka..those memories will be cherished forever..Bill and JoAnne, Kevin and Noel.

I remember Bonnie from a long time ago when Debbie and my daughter'Charlotte, were good buddys. Bonnie and I would have coffee and talk about a lot of everything. She was so sweet and friendly.

Bonnie and I worked together for many years at Humboldt Home Health. I remember her as a spirited and smiling woman, always ready to laugh. She knew how to enjoy life! We would take our breaks together and share stories of our ups and downs, raising children and working and trying to make the best of our lives. She was a great support to me at a rough time in my life. I will always see her with a beautiful smile on her face.
