{Mason, Bonnie F. Ellenberger
August 14, 1957 - April 23, 2017
Age: 59 years 8 months and 9 days

Father: John "Jack" Ellenberger

Spouse: Robert "Bob" E. Mason

Mrs. Bonnie F. Mason, of Onaway, passed away at her home on Sunday April 23, 2017, at the age of 59 years 8 months and 9 days.

Bonnie, the daughter of John "Jack" and Ruth (Stock) Ellenberger, was born in Onaway on August 14, 1957. She was raised in Onaway and graduated from Onaway High School in 1975.

On July 28, 1979, Bonnie F. Ellenberger was united in marriage with Mr. Robert E. Mason at Holy Cross Lutheran Church in Onaway.

A lifelong resident of Onaway, Bonnie worked at Penhale's Pharmacy, in the bakery at Carter's IGA, and as a waitress at Canada Creek Ranch, not to mention her full-time job as a homemaker and mother.

Devoted to her Christian faith, Bonnie was an active member of Holy Cross Lutheran Church where she was president of the Christian Women's Society. She also belonged to the Smiling Circle Club and the Stepping Stones Garden Club.

Skilled with a needle and thread, Bonnie was an avid quilter and enjoyed embroidery as well. She loved to read and work in her flower garden. She was an excellent cook and spent a lot of time canning the tomatoes and beans Bob grew in their garden each summer.

She relied on her faith in God to see her through the difficult times and didn't dwell on the obstacles life presented. She remained strong through all, focusing on her family and helping others.

She enjoyed the time she spent watching her grandchildren and was proud of her family. Her quiet demeanor and beautiful smile will be sadly missed by all who knew her.

Bonnie is survived by:
…her husband of nearly 38 years,
…three daughters, and
…three grandchildren.

Bonnie also leaves:
…her brothers,
…her special friends,
……Brenda and Leora, both of Onaway;
…as well as her in-laws and many friends.

Bonnie was preceded in death by:
…her parents,
……John "Jack" Ellenberger and
……Ruth Ellenberger, nee Stock.

There will be a Memorial Service on Thursday, April 27, 2017, at 11:00 a.m. at Holy Cross Lutheran Church in Onaway. Pastor Roger Kilponen will officiate.
