Bonnie was the 8th child of 13 and she was born in Carleton Place, Ontario! In her teen years she moved with her mother, grandmother, Al and younger siblings to Conn, Ontario and there she would remain for the rest of her life! Bonnie had a heart of gold and took in many strays. Whether they had 2 legs or 4, Bonnie never hesitated to share her home or lend a hand. Bonnie was a “firecracker” and never afraid to tell you her opinion on politics or other current events. Bonnie loved every single person in her life with her whole heart, she was a beautiful soul inside and out. 

A celebration of Bonnie’s life will take place in the summer of 2025. Those wishing to make a donation in memory of Bonnie are asked to consider the Owen Sound Animal Shelter, Carroll’s Animal Sanctuary, Feral Cat Rescue Shelburne, or the School Breakfast Program at your local school.
