Suddenly at her home on Tuesday, July 10, 2018 of Exeter in her 71st year. Loving mother of Dan Zawalsky of Lucan and Jessica Keller and Chris Fedorko of Exeter. Dear grandmother of Paige and Emma Keller. Dear sister-in-law of Phyllis and Robert Foulds of Waterloo. Predeceased by her brother Donald McChesney. Bonnie loved and appreciated all of her friends. Her kindness and generosity will be greatly missed. Please honour her memory by paying it forward, being kind to a stranger, or simply smiling at people as you pass by, because people are fighting battles that you can’t always see.
Bonnie’s body has been donated to medical science at Western University, London. A private family service will be held at a later date.
Donations to the Canadian Mental Health Association or any addiction or mental health program would be appreciated by the family.

So sorry to hear of Bonnie’s passing. I worked with her at the ReStore and learned of her kind, caring and generous heart She felt strongly for those that were experiencing challenges and truly wished to help them all… cats and humans alike. Be at peace knowing Bonnie has found hers and she is in good caring hands.

I am so sorry for your loss. Bonnie was a wonderful kind hearted lady! I will miss her coming into the store and sharing her stories and jokes with me. My thoughts and prayers are with you all at this sad time.
JoAnne Hodgins
Bonnie and I had several things in common.
We both loved people, walking,nature and cats!
But our greatest similarity was our over the moon love for our children and grandchildren.
We would be so excited to hear of each other’s news as we shared our stories. Bonnie’s love for family was like no other. She beamed and glowed as she shared what each one had done.
Exeter has lost one of its finest.
Remember her love and smile and pass it on. The world is a better place because of Bonnie and her gift of love.
With love, JoAnne Dinney Hodgins

I want to express my deepest condolences on the passing of a dear friend. As a co-worker at the ReStore I always found her to be always friendly, always smiling, always had a joke for the day, or a funny story, a loving person of animals and people. You could count on Bonnie to speak her mind because she always wore her heart on her sleeve. I hope her jar of “things to be thankful for” helps bring peace in the knowledge that she lived a full life!… always trying to look at things from the bright side.
RIP dear friend <3
