Bonnie Sue Coe, 60, of Springfield died Friday, June 11, 2010, at Maple Ridge Care Center in Lincoln after a long and courageous battle with multiple myeloma.
She was born December 24, 1949, to L. Garvey and Madeline F. Coe of Mechanicsburg. Bonnie was raised in Mechanicsburg and attended Tri City Schools, graduating in 1968 from Tri City High School.
