It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of Bonita “Bonnie” Ann Garrett on October 21, 2024, at the age of 80. Bonnie was born on June 27, 1944, to John B and Kathleen Virginia Colbert Bayer in Hagerstown, MD.
Throughout her lifetime, she touched the hearts of those around her with her love for her family, flowers, animals, and the simple joys in life. She adored her grandchildren, cherishing every moment spent with them and creating lasting memories that will be treasured forever.
