Bonnie leaves this Message: Like the speed of an arrow, that's shot from a bow; Like the glance of a sunbeam, on the mountains of snow; Like the lighting that flashes, a moment and dies; So swift move the wheels of time as it flies !!

So teach us to number our days that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom. Psalm 90: 1-2

In addition to working outside the home, Oma was an accomplished mother and source of love and information for her family. Bonnie & Art's dream was to retire young and to live out their years at the farm - which they did along with their great neighbors. Per Bonnie's wishes, there will be only a graveside service conducted by the Rev. Jane Black at the Homer Cemetery 1450 Homer Rd., Homer OH 42027, at 11:00AM Monday February 24, 2020. Note there will be no gathering before or after the graveside service.

Remembrances can be left with the great people of Hospice of Central Ohio, P.O. Box 430. Newark, OH 43058-0430.
