My beautiful sister. You’d tell me you watch over me all the time, your always there. Just the two of us, we’ve got each other. You taught me my first survival skills, as most elder siblings do. What you didn’t teach me was how to live without you. Love you forever.
Sorry to hear of Bonny’s passing. We shared Air Force stories often. She was an excellent USPS Supervisor…one of the good ones. May her family recall all the pleasant memories.
Bonny was one of the nicest supervisors at the Remote Encoding Center. I’ve known her since 1995. Her passing saddens me. She always had a smile on her face and was very professional at work. One in a million. I still can’t believe it. My thoughts and deepest heart and soulful prayers go out to her family. She will be missed so much.
Bonny you will be so missed. I am so sad to hear of your passing. You were my supervisor when I started at the post office and then you were my supervisor before I retired. This picture was on your birthday and we really did enjoy you as our supervisor. Lou Losie Coworker
Rest Bonny, until you hear at dawn, the low, clear reveille of God. Thank you for your service to this nation. Career U.S. Air Force, MSGT.
Bonny, you will be truly missed. Who will I share chocolate with? Every time you would come to my training rooms we would have chocolate and share stories. You were one of the nicest people at the site and I always loved to hear your stories and get your advice on postal as I was new to the postal world. You will be missed and I pray for your family and friends to remember all the good times we had.
Thank you for sharing stories about my mom. She was so strong and kind, and I am so honored and grateful that I am her daughter.
Sure sorry to hear about this, Norm. Debbi and I are thinking about you and your family. You and Bonny were great neighbors and we still think about those days on E. 32nd St. Ct. N.
Last week, I found out a friend, co-worker, and supervisor had passed away. I was both shocked and very sad, heartbroken for her and her family. I had known her since I started working with her in 2007. She had been my supervisor for a long time, probably longer than she had hoped and I was probably responsible for more than a few of her gray hairs. We had become friends and taken more than a few breaks together. We talked about so many things, some of them being what we would do if we could change things to make them better for employees and customers, about changes that were made and their effects on the employees, about some of the things that stressed us out the most about our jobs, about family, friends, trips we took and those we wanted to take, about our military service as we both had served, and about retiring. She was at the point that she could have at any time but she just kept saying maybe next year… I know that her job allowed her to put in some of the ideas and opinions that I had given her and I know she had done so a couple of times. She wanted to do what she could to make things better for the employees and she did that every day. Covid sent the majority of us home last March and she still worked from the office. Covid also made the customers meaner and I chose to retire as soon as it was possible for me to do so. I was afraid that I would no longer be able to hold my tongue and that management, upper management and quality could not do anything to protect us or keep customers from abusing us on the phones any longer. She never did so and I am so sorry that she missed doing the things that she had planned. Her and her husband won’t be able to wake up and take the days as they come together without a plan if that’s how they wanted. I missed talking to her daily and I hope she knew that I loved her and will miss her so. Rest in peace Bonny.😥
Bonny was a cherished co-worker, friend and one of my valuable mentors at USPS for many years. It has taken me some time to process Bonny’s passing and the impact she had on my career and I am sure on all who worked with her. At our workplace, I feel her presence everywhere and that is a testament to Bonny and the impact she had. Bonny was always there to help and steer you in the “right” direction. She was reliable, engaging, dependable, creative, organized, detailed, understanding, thorough, determined, strong, decisive and fun!! I will never forget the fun times we had at work that made getting through the day better! Such a dry sense of humor. I loved it! Red flag! Red flag! I was on several trips with Bonny over the years as well and had so much fun! I will miss seeing her and I will miss her humor, her experience, her insights and sharing chocolate with her. I am so grateful for all she has done for me and what I learned from her. I am thankful she was able to spend the time with us she had. Just an amazing person. Thank you Bonny.
