Obituary
Bonnie Lee Rierson, age 72, passed away May 25, 2015 in Mesa, Arizona. Born Bonnie Lee Halfhill on February 18, 1943 in Painesville, Ohio, Bonnie was preceded in death by her father, Herman Dayton Halfhill; mother, Virginia June Halfhill; sister, Connie Wilson; brothers, James and Thomas Halfhill; grandson, Christopher Rierson; great grandson, Elijah Ray Smith, as well as another great grandson due in August of 2015.
She is survived by her children Virginia “Ginny” Lee (Chris) Wolfe, Mary “Sissy” Lee (Robert) Curtis, Curtis (Sarah) Rierson; and grandchildren, Sean, Annie, Samantha, Charles, Brendan, Caitlin, Bonnie, Samuel, Selena, Leah and Robert, Jr. (Gabby). In addition, all of her poker/bingo playing, casino hopping friends that she loved so much.
Bonnie retired from the Desert Museum, a job she truly loved. She loved playing bingo, poker and loved her trips to Laughlin and Las Vegas; where she sure had a knack of winning.
Spending times with her friends and family were truly the most enjoyable times for her. She was the type of person that made lifelong friends immediately – all of which were considered lucky to have met her.
She will be missed for her big heart, joking nature and her strong will.
A Celebration of her Life will be held at a later date.
We all love you and will see you one day in God’s Great Kingdom.
