Bonnie was synonymous with Starfest. In the early days, she was invariably one of the first people you'd run into as she’d be helping man the registration desk. Bonnie was outgoing, engaging, and kind. She was someone I chatted with every year that I attended, and she will be deeply missed by everyone who knew her. She had the knack of making everyone feel welcome: and at home they were – when at Starfest.
Dear Andreas and Family, I was saddened to hear that Bonnie has passed. She was very personable and a pleasure to converse with. Remember the many fond memories you made together. She will be missed by her many friends and acquaintances. Thinking of you. Sincere condolences to the entire family. Bonnie Grace Bird December 31, 1947 - November 29, 2025 "Rest in Peace"
Bonnie was such a kind, thoughtful and generous person who touched so many lives. We will miss her greatly.
My sincere condolences, Andreas! When I was a member of the Northumberland Photography Club, she was always friendly and most helpful.
My condolences to Andreas. Bonnie was a great lady and a real help to me when we all were members of Club 39. Rest in peace my friend. Elva
Our condolence to Andreas and family.
Very sorry for your loss Andreas and family. Bonnie was an amazing lady. I knew her well from StarFest, the RASC, and of course her years at the RASC National Office. She was always cheery, hardworking, smart, and sensible.
Sorry to hear of Bonnie's passing, We used to line Dance together in Fenella' Rest in peace Bonnie
I've lost my dear friend, Bonnie, and our community has as well. She was the kindest and most thoughtful person to all who met her. She devoted hours to our Roseneath United Church, the Roseneath Fair and Club 39. Her smile was contagious. She made the world a better place. Remember always, Anne xo
To Bonnie’s Family Sorry for your loss. Knew Bonnie from the Roseneath Church. Mavis George was my mother and spoke fondly of Bonnie. Deepest Sympathy God Bless
Serving at the Registration Desk at StarFest was not the same this year, without Bonnie. How apt it is that her middle name was Grace, because truly, she was a woman of grace and kindness. She was also a person of great faith; may the peace she now experiences console you, Andreas, and all family and friends.
I am so very sorry to read of your wife's passing Andreas. To you, and your family, I wish strength as you try to find reasoning for the past and appreciation for the many great memories. Blessings to everyone through the challenging days ahead.
