It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Bonnie Janette Howard, a beloved wife, mother, grandmother, and friend. Bonnie passed suddenly on Sunday September 28, 2025, leaving her family and friends with cherished memories of her warmth and joy.

Bonnie was the proud mother of three children, Erica Minaker (deceased), Nicholas Minaker (partner Rachel Shea), and Farrell Minaker. She was a loving grandmother to Braydon Todd, Ryker Brooks, and sisters Reegan and Roslyn McCheyne

She also embraced her husband Jon’s children as her own, the late John Joseph (Joey) Howard, father of Braydon, and Sarah Howard (partner Keith Laing).

Bonnie will be remembered for her fun-loving spirit, ever-present smile, and the joy she found in her gardens and family gatherings. Though her passing was sudden, her love and laughter will live on in the hearts of all who knew her.
