Bonnie Fathers (nee Thomson)
Bonnie passed away peacefully on Friday, November 22, 2019 at the Dr. F.H. Wigmore Hospital in Moose Jaw. Bonnie will be missed by her daughter Shauna Schappert, grandson Ethan Faustmann, friends, "who were more like sisters", Mary Bruvold, Leone Townend, Ginny Jackson, Carole Parchman, as well as extended family and many, many friends. Bonnie battled breast and ovarian cancer for almost 5 years, but cancer never slowed her down. She enjoyed attending T.O.P.S., Kinder Sisters, Grandmothers to Grandmothers, singing in the church choir and community choir. She was active in the church but most of all she enjoyed travelling with family and friends. One of her favorite trips was to Halifax, NS, with Ethan and Shauna. She also got to realize one of her dreams by visiting Costa Rica. Bonnie took many bus tours around Canada and in the USA with Mary. Bonnie worked at Inland Concrete for 33 years as an administrative assistant. She was a loyal employee and enjoyed her work. She retired in 2012. Her greatest moment was becoming a grandma. She loved Ethan and Jarod so, so much. She cherished her time with them. Family and friends are invited to attend a Celebration of Life gathering on Wednesday, November 27, 2019 at 11:00 am at Minto United Church, 1036 7th Ave NW, Moose Jaw. Interment will follow at Rosedale Cemetery. Memorial donations to "Grandmothers to Grandmothers" Steven Lewis Foundation, 100-260 Spadina Ave, Toronto, ON M5T 2E4, would be appreciated.
