BONNIE LYNN CARRETTE Peacefully on January 27, 2010, with family by her side, Bonnie Lynn Carrette (nee Mcleod) passed away at the St. Boniface Hospital in Winnipeg, Manitoba. Bonnie was predeceased by her husband Jerome Allan Carrette in 2001, her mother in 1999 and father in 2002, her grandparents Norman Mcleod, Helga and Eddie Magnusson. Her memory will be forever cherished by her brothers, Garland Magnusson, Rorie (Leanne) Magnusson; her loving children, Andrew (Tammy), Anastasia (Raymond), Marion (Jascon), Juanita (Randy), Alicia (Terry); her extended family Sandra (Glen), Donna (Ryan), Kerry (Melanie), Cheryl (Barrett), Bill (Crystal); her nephews, Rylan and Austin; very special grandchildren, Sidney, Shyanne, Alannah, Rayne, Kristina and Seth; her grandmother Adrienne Mcleod; numerous aunts, uncles, relatives and friends; and her special friends who have always been with her especially in these trying times, Marcel, Nancy, Angie and Alana, Dude and Debbie. Bonnie was born in Eriksdale, Manitoba on September 18, 1961 to Norma and Carl Magnusson. Bonnie was raised in Lundar, Manitoba until her life began with Jerome in 1979. Bonnie moved away but returned to Lundar to be with her family in 2002. Bonnie worked in the restaurant business most of her life making her the great cook she became. She always worked her hardest and took pride in anything she did. She had a great passion for baking and cooking. Her laughter filled our hearts and brought smiles to our faces, her sense of humour was something else and her company was always treasured. Mom was our rock, our preacher and was there whenever you needed her. You could always count on her for anything. Mom had a knack for knowing something was bothering you and could always read how you were feeling and would always sit and talk with you to make things better. Mom lived life to the fullest even with her health issues. She always found the strength to carry on and not let anything hold her down. A very special thanks to Wesley, Charity and especially Sandra for standing by her these last few weeks keeping her spirits bright. She treasured every moment that she spent with friends and family and knew everyone's prayers were with her. She will be greatly missed and treasured but never forgotten. Her heart was filled with love that kept her going. Don't cry for me, just smile for me, until we meet again. A memorial service will be held for Bonnie at 2:00 p.m. on Sunday, February 7, 2010 at the Lundar Legion Hall with Pastor Bill Watson officiating. Service will conclude at the Hall. Honorary pallbearers for Bonnie that day will be all her loving grandchildren. In lieu of flowers donations can be made to the Canadian Diabetes Association 200 - 310 Broadway Ave., Winnipeg, MB, R3C 0S6.
