Heaven is even more beautiful now. Bonnie Jean Druliner Farnham went home to be with her Lord Sunday, March 3, 2013. She passed away at home surrounded by the love of her family. She was 86.
Bonnie was born in Myrtle Point, Oregon on May 27, 1926 to Harry and Mable Druliner. She grew up on a homestead with her parents, 2 sisters, Bettye Magee, Patty Cox, and her 5 brothers, Don, Deward, DeLoss, Dale and Doug Druliner.
Bonnie met Waldo Farnham in 1964 and a year later on September 3, 1965 they were married.
Family was Bonnie's true passion. She and Waldo, her husband of 47 years, have 5 children, 10 grandchildren, and 13 great-grandchildren. Nothing gave her more joy than to have her family around her.
Most importantly, Bonnie had a faith in God that was inspiring. She never wavered in her love for Him. It was this Love that inspired her to open Mac Christian Supply that she ran for several years. She also enjoyed doing a variety of crafts including stained glass, ceramics, sewing, knitting and baking. Bonnie took great pleasure in putting her personal touches to our home.
