In loving memory ~
It's with broken hearts Krista & Jana share the death of our Mom, Bonnie Johnson at age 80. Bonnie (nee Bennett) was born & raised in Thunder Bay, before moving to Powassan for her and her beloved Jim to start their long-standing careers as teachers. Bonnie will be tremendously missed by her granddaughter Ayla, daughters Jana & Krista, brother Bill, and all of her inlaws; the Hrymnaks, Ways, Kilbys, Rideoughs. Bonnie was preceded by her husband of 55 years, Jim.
Bonnie made an impact on everyone she met. Everyone. She was a joker, a flirt, a pain-in-the-ass-in-the-most-charming-way. She loved to talked and would take audience with anyone who would engage- she loved to hear other's stories, and was wildly compassionate & generous.
Some retirement years were spent in Agassiz, British Columbia where she continued to built her collection of kind & loyal friends before returning to Ontario to be closer to Family.
We ask that in her honour please shock someone with a dirty joke!
In lieu of donations please take time to age well & strong, and consider palliative care for your loved ones in-home; the level of medical support was outstanding.
A small service is being held Kingston and a future celebration in Powassan is to be announced.
