Born on February 23, 1945 in Rome, NY, Bonnie and her family moved multiple times through the U.S. In 1959, the family moved to Akron, Ohio where Bonnie graduated from Buchtel High School, Class of 1963. At Buchtel, Bonnie met lifelong friends who where always by her side.

Bonnie attended the University of Akron and worked for General Electric until 1972. She then became a homemaker and a devoted wife and mother who cared deeply for her family. Bonnie was an active member of St. Hilary Parish where her three children went to school.

Bonnie’s true happiness was when she became a grandmother to Claire Elizabeth Davis, Ryan James Pieroni, Lauren Marie Pieroni, and Evan James Conner. Her four grandchildren meant the absolute world to her, and they adored her.

She is survived by her four grandchildren; her children, Lisa (Guy) Pieroni, John (Jenny) Conner, and Kim Davis; brothers and sisters-in-law, Timothy and Ellen Whisler, and Dennis and Cheryl Whisler; cousins; nephews and nieces; and special friends, Aaron and Aidan Gribschaw.
