Bonnie was a beautiful person. She always had a kind heart and a few words of wisdom to share. I will miss her very much.

Bonnie came to work with us in Carondelet St. Joseph's Health Information Management approximately eight years ago and was a devoted HIM coding team member for all those years. Bonnie had a long history in Health Information Management and was a excellent coder. Bonnie always had a deep caring for all her coworkers and was always at our side when needed. We shall miss Bonnie's always forthright outlook on life and her always willingness to jump in and help out the team where ever she could. Bonnie always contributed her great coding knowledge and expressed her board range of knowledge in our meetings. We shall miss her warmth and understanding. My heart and prayers are with her family and friends during this time of loss.

I worked with Bonnie for many years at St. Joseph's Hospital. My Mom, Julie Vanover, & my husband, David Cowell both worked with Bonnie at Kino Hospital. All of us send our prayers to friends & family. We will so miss Bonnie and her wonderful sense of humor. She was truly one of the good people on this earth.
I am so thankful that I got to see Bonnie a few months ago at a class we attended.

With love,

Kathie, David, & Julie

I worked with Bonnie for many years. We also went to England together in the late 1980's and had a grand time. She was a very special lady.
