In Loving Memory of Marguerite Elizabeth Petras (Aka Bonnie, Oma, Buns,
Bunny, Bunisha).
Marguerite Elizabeth Petras, affectionately known as Bonnie, left an
indelible mark on the lives of all who had the privilege of knowing her.
With unwavering love and devotion, she embraced her roles as a devoted wife,
mother and principal, touching countless hearts
with her warmth and compassion. Bonnie’s love for dancing, laughter, and
dedication to education enriched the lives of those around her.
Born in Queens and raised in a nurturing home, Bonnie’s journey led
her to build a beautiful life with her husband Chris in the Georgia
mountains, where she found joy in every moment. As a family, they treasured
adventures together, from travel escapades to countless days of tennis
matches and laughter-filled gatherings. Bonnie’s
magnetic spirit, genuine care for others, and infectious laughter created a
wide circle of friends, including her cherished companion, Russell.
Together, they cherished the simple joys of life, exploring new horizons and
relishing each other’s company. She is survived by
her loving husband, Russ, her sons Ross and Joey and her daughters-in-law
Kristen and Kristen. Bonnie was a doting grandmother to her eight adored
grandchildren – Halen, Brayden, Kiley, Easton, Hudson, Christopher, Landen,
and Nolan – who brought immense joy to her heart.
Bonnie’s legacy of love, courage, and zest for life will forever be
cherished by her family and friends. As we bid farewell to this remarkable
soul, may her memory continue to inspire us to live life to the fullest, to
cherish every moment, and to spread love and kindness wherever we go. May
she rest in eternal peace. |
