BONNIE ELAINE THOMAS
December 1, 1950 – 2026
Bonnie Elaine Thomas passed away at the age of 75 after living with dementia and, in her final months, battling an aggressive cancer.
Born in Lindbergh, Alberta, Bonnie built a career as a Registered Nurse and dedicated her life to caring for others. She was a passionate volunteer, a fierce advocate, a loyal friend, and a devoted mother and grandmother. Known for her practicality, sharp wit, love of cats, homemade cookies, pocket knives, and ever-present binoculars, Bonnie left a lasting impression on everyone who knew her.
Bonnie was predeceased by her mother, Hazel Hoard; her brother, Perry; and her longtime partner, Mike Lakusta.
She is lovingly remembered by her daughter, Heather Chamberlain (Brad Chamberlain); grandsons Joseph and Thomas; her son, Jason Thomas (Amy Drake) her sister, Julie Boyko; as well as many nieces, nephews, extended family members, and friends.
A Celebration of Life will be announced at a later date.
My condolences to Mike and the family. I was lucky enough to work with Bonnie many a year and she always made me smile. May she rest easy.
What an amazing human she was, she was so caring and always said what she thought and made me laugh every time I saw her when we worked the same shifts, she used to come down to the front doors for a quick visit and watch outside or look for one of her patients outside smoking. She always checked the obits and cared deeply for so many people that came in and out of the Glenrose. I adored her as a kid visiting the my mom at work and she always always cared and asked after her. Sending you so much love.
Our deepest condolences, Jason and Heather- Aunty Bonnie was part of so many of my cherished childhood memories as are you both. I share the stories with my own kids who enjoy hearing about all the fun and mischief we would have at your house during sleepovers and holidays. I will miss her sharp sense of humour, her homemade cookies, and her quiet wisdom. Sending your families our biggest hugs. Love you forever Aunty B!
