Bonita Joan Coffman, 72, passed away peacefully early February 6, 2007, following a long battle with colon cancer.

Bonnie was born August 4, 1935 in Chula, MO to Jim and Lola Raney. She married her highschool sweetheart Wesley Coffman of Laredo, MO, on April 3, 1955.

She was preceded in death by her parents and husband of 52 years.

She leaves behind 4 children, Mary Jo (Norm) LaValla, Richard (Shirley), Michael and Denise (Terry) Brown; 6 grandchildren and 1 great grandchild.

Bonnie was a devoted housewife and loving mother and grandmother. She cherished her family and was always available with a shoulder to cry on or simply an ear for listening. She will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved her.

It was Bonnie's wish to be cremated and graveside services will be held at Plainview Cemetery in Chula, MO at a later date.

Memorial donations may be made to Hospice Kavanagh House, 900 56th Street, Des Moines, Iowa 50312.
