Bonita Lynne Wilson, lifelong animal lover
Bonita “Bonnie” Lynne Wilson, 75, of Milton passed away on the morning of Tuesday, June 14, 2022.
Bonnie was born Dec. 22, 1946, in Baltimore, Md., to Arthur M. & Ina S. Wilson. She attended the Institute of Notre Dame H.S. and UMBC, and received her master of social work from UMBC.
Her joys in life were playing games (Password) when vacationing with family at Bethany Beach, and playing cards with her cousin Nancy. She was a lifelong lover of animals including cats, dogs and even horses from #1 Brandy to #5 Honey. Her best buddies in the world were Duffy, a Welsh Corgi, and Oreo and Licorice, two very quirky cats. She also had many great friends who cared for and supported her during her illness.
She is survived by her sisters, Cynthia Brown and Gloria Fallon; her brother, Thomas Wilson, her beloved niece, Lynne Margaret Brown; and dear nephews, Matthew and Thomas Brown. Bonnie is also survived by her grand-nephews, Patrick and Declan Brown; and her grand-nieces, Gabriella and Isabella Brown; and many cousins.
A memorial service is planned for a later date. Donations in her name may be made to Delaware Hospice, 100 Patriots Way, Milford, DE 19903, delawarehospice.org/donate, or 800-838-9800.
Arrangements in the care of Short Funeral Services, Milton.
