Loving and devoted wife to Dominic (Jock) for 58 years, visiting him faithfully at Cedarwood for the last year and a half.

Bonnie was a retired nurse and back in the day was an active member of All Saints Anglican Church, Girl Guides of Canada, volunteer driver for the Cancer Society and a member of various embroidery groups and book club.

I was the Rector of All Saints' Anglican Church from 1978 to 1981 and enjoyed the Vanni family very much. Jock served as my warden and Diane was close friends with Bonnie. Michelle babysat our infant daughter, Leslie. Hagersville was a good time in our ministry and we were sorry to leave, but bishops have the final say where one serves! We kept in touch with Bonnie and Jock over the years. She will be missed by many. Blessings at this difficult time. May she rest in peace and rise in glory!!

I am so sorry to hear of Bonnie's passing. I remember her through Girl Guides when she would bring a tiny Michelle to camp with her when she was the camp nurse, to working with her in the church kitchen, to travelling with her to Trefoil Guild meetings, and to long telephone conversations after her visit with Jock. Many memories. My prayers are with your family at this time.

It is with deep sadness that I received the news of Bonnie's unexpected death. We were friends for 78 years, since the age of 4 & she will be dearly missed. I am grateful that she was able to die so peacefully, but my heart goes out to Jock, Michelle, Mark & all the family at this very difficult time. God bless.

I am sorry to hear of Bonnie's passing. We were friends in high school and I spent many good times in her company. My favorite story about Bonnie is of the time I was being grounded (unjustly I'm sure) for some minor infraction of the rules. Bonnie came to get me to go to Teen Town with her. My mother would not budge on her decision to keep me home so Bonnie asked my mother if she could be grounded with me. My mother relented and Bonnie and I spent the evening playing Scrabble and watching t.v. Best grounding ever. I hope your favorite stories bring you much comfort.
