I can't imagine the world without her. She was as remarkable human being as she was a ED Nurse, and we shall be at a loss without her. My family routinely owed her a huge amount of gratitude for her care during frequent asthma episodes. She was a remarkable human being and I shall miss her. Fair Skies and tailwinds,

Patrick and family, I worked with Bonnie many years ago in the ED. She always was very caring but also very competent. Patients she took care of had the best of the best. I was very fortunate to have had Bonnie as a part of my life. May the good memories help you through these sad days.

Dear Canfield and Inger families, There are no words to express my sadness of the passing of Bonnie. She was a great wife, daughter, sister, and friend and the kind of nurse we would all want taking care of us. Bonnie was born to be a nurse and loved what she did. She was a great team player and we all looked to her as the team leader in so many ways. She gave guidance to so many new nurses, EMTs, paramedics and anyone who crossed her path. Bonnie gave her all to help others, I know there was great sadness when she was unable to help her brother, dad, sister and mother who passed before her. RIP BJ you gave your all until there was no more to give, you more than earned your angel wings. Thank you for being such a great friend. I will love you forever.

I know you have your own wings now and can fly as you wish. I will know that brightest twinkle when I look to Heaven is yours. I was blessed to have you in my life. Jer

I just had the pleasure of meeting Bonnie a week before her passing. She was in her wheelchair in the rehab hallway at Hiawatha Care Center letting all know of her thoughts on the therapy she was getting. We had a wonderful chat, and she made quite an impression on me. I used to work as a nurse, but am now a massage therapist. We discussed my leaving nursing, my son who is an ICU nurse, and her years as a flight nurse.
She made quite an impression on me in our 15 minutes together. I had planned to check in with her yesterday when I was at the Care Center, but was saddened to learn of her passing. What a wonderful lady she was!

Dear Canfield family: I came home from work tonight and found Bonnie's obituary in the Gazette. I worked with her for years at St. Luke's, first as a resident, and later in the ER. She was an exceptional nurse and a loving person, always. She was always a calming force in difficult situations, and left everyone feeling better off after
Dear Canfields: So sorry to hear of Bonnie's death. She was an exceptional nurse and wonderful person; she helped so many people, and always left every situation better than she found it! Kindness with a capital K. I lost touch with her after leaving St Luke's, but have many fond memories of times and shifts we spent together. God bless you at this difficult time. Bob Roof

It was a privilege for me to work (St. Luke's ER) with Bonnie many years ago. We worked many shifts together - she was an exceptional clinical nurse & always a great team player. She was especially good with elderly patients -her gentle laugh made everyone feel better! May flights of angels sing thee to thy rest . . . Rest in Eternal Peace.
To Patrick & her entire family, take time to heal & remember all the good memories.
