Bonnie was born September 26, 1940 in Salem, Ohio to James Paul and Bonita May {Crumbaker} Semple. In Salem is where she met and married her husband of 58 years, Bruce Wilson. Bonnie was a loving wife, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother.
Before the horrible disease of dementia took her mind, she loved to attend her children and grandchildren's many events, served in many roles at her church, and worked with her husband in his business. Bonnie was a teachers aide for Triway Jr. High retiring after 20 years of service. Bonnie loved children and especially her grandchildren, often seen at their many events; she also served at church camp in the kitchen where her grandchildren attended. Bonnie loved her flower gardens. These flowers she and Bruce would cut, arrange and give to nursing home patients whom she and Bruce would visit. She loved and served her family and made many, many friends in her life's journey. She will leave a void in the lives she touched.
Bonnie will be deeply missed by her husband, Bruce; daughters Kimberly (Jeffrey) Chittenden and Christina Wilson all of Wooster; grandchildren Nichole (Jacoby) Baab, Steven (Hannah) Chittenden, and Anna Chittenden; great-granddaughter Kennedy Mae Baab; brother James (Joyce) Semple of Canfield; and sister Dorothy (Keith) Klingaman of Girard.
