DICK - Bonnie Dick, beloved wife, mother, grandmother and friend, passed away peacefully on July 3rd after a long courageous battle with cancer.

Bonnie was born to Gordon, and Edna Turnbull was born in Youngstown on August 29th, 1950. Bonnie spent her childhood in Youngstown, where she graduated. She had a calling to go somewhere bigger and experience life in the city. She eventually moved to Calgary, where she went to school for hairdressing.

During this time, she met and fell in love with Gordon Dick. They married on November 13th, 1971. They moved to Oyen, where they raised their large family on the farm. Bonnie and Gordon have four beautiful children who all have amazing spouses and their pride and joy of 9 grandchildren and three great-grandkids.

She worked for many years as a housekeeper at the Oyen Hospital.

Bonnie loved hosting many family gatherings, and she never forgot your favourite dish or dessert, making sure to have it there for you.

She loved to help all of her kids with her grandchildren, loved to spoil them, and loved to help her mother out whenever she was needed.

She will be remembered for her love of life and her laugh. One that can be heard from anywhere and always known who it was coming from.

Bonnie will forever be known for her inner strength and perseverance. She battled cancer four times with grace and strength no one can ever know. Bonnie had such an amazingly positive outlook on every battle, never giving up. She is now flying free with her dad and brother Eric, both of whom she loved deeply.

Bonnie is predeceased by her Dad Gordon Turnbull, brothers Eric and Robert Turnbull.
