Bonnie worked in retail for many years but she loved nothing more than being a mother and grandmother. Bonnie loved her children and grandchildren more than anything, and creating memories while camping at the CECO Recreational Club was Bonnie’s true passion. When Bonnie wasn’t spending her time with her family, she enjoyed crafting, whether it was knitting, crocheting, or sewing. Her true talent showed in the clothing she made.

Bonnie is survived by her loving husband of 59 years, Thomas L. Moir; her grandchildren, Dean and Drew Moir; daughter-in-law, Lori Moir; siblings, John Vorva and Jeff (Maggie) Vorva; and her sister-in-law, Karyn (the late Richard) Hoyt. She was the fond aunt of numerous nieces and nephews.
