With heavy hearts, we announce that Bonnie passed away peacefully on April 29, 2026, after a brave battle.
Born in Owen Sound, Bonnie eventually moved to Hamilton and then to Kingston, where she spent many years raising her family with fierce devotion, before returning to Hamilton to be with her siblings, in-laws, nieces and nephews. Throughout her life, Bonnie was known for her indomitable spirit. She knew how to fight for what she believed in, and above all else, she believed in the power of loving her family.
Bonnie famously joked that she only had a kitchen because it came with the house, much preferring the ease of takeout. Yet, when it mattered most, she possessed a remarkable talent for creating big, beautiful meals and incredible celebrations like Christmas. To her family, Bonnie was Christmas; she was the heart of every wonderful holiday, turning simple gatherings into magical, lasting memories.
She was an incredible, present, and joyful grandmother. Her grandchildren—Christopher, Tri, and Cai—will forever cherish the memories of “Grandma Camp” late night conversations about life, and their special breakfast traditions at Cora’s. Bonnie loved fiercely and would do anything for another in need. Her passing leaves a hole that will never be filled, but everyone who knew her was left with the lasting gift of her strength, her humour, and her love. She was truly the anchor of our family, always with an open ear to anyone in need and boy, did we need her!
Bonnie is lovingly remembered by her children, Virginia (John) and Brent (Liz); her cherished grandchildren, Christopher, Tri, and Cai. She is also deeply missed by her brother, Paul (Brenda), her sister and other half, Debbie (Tim), and her sister-in-law, Elaine Nicholls as well as her many relatives and friends throughout Owen Sound and Hamilton. She has gone to join those who passed before her: her mother, Marie Nicholls, her brother, Ron Nicholls, and her partner, Bruce Donais. They are, no doubt, embracing her once again.
Celebration of Life will be on May 22nd in Hamilton, Ontario.
