MacDonald, Bonita Elizabeth – passed away in Colchester East Hants Health Centre, Truro surrounded by her immediate family on Sunday, January 29, 2023.
Born in Sydney, Cape Breton in 1945, she was predeceased by her daughter, Nadine, Truro; brother, Allan; and sisters, Carole and Wanda, Halifax and is survived by her loving husband, Alexander (Sandy), Truro; son, Mark, Truro; and daughter, Amy (Keola Asam), Wai’anae, Hawaii; as well as sisters, Eleanor, Halifax; and Jeanette, Sydney. She loved all her nieces and nephews and her grandchildren, Victoria, Saltsprings; Rebekah, Windsor; Margaret and Glyn, Truro; Haukealani, Coral, Keone, Sydney and Kailana, all of Wai’anae, Hawaii.
Bonnie led a full and beautiful life with an unstoppable thirst for knowledge and helping others naturally led her to a career as an educator at which she excelled and touched the lives of literally thousands along that road. She sparked the joy of learning in so many. She truly had the biggest heart imaginable. She had a witty sense of humour and always a musical song to sing for any occasion. Mom loved following and cheering on her Raptors, Blue Jays and Brooke Henderson. She loved to watch her grandchildren surf and hear about all their adventures!
Words cannot describe how much you will be missed and remembered in such a positive light. You made all of our lives better off for knowing us and for loving us all. The heavens gained a new shining star. Love you Mom! Aloha & A Hui Hou!
Cremation has taken place and a celebration of life will take place at a later date.
