Obituary of Beverly Ann Bonsall

Beverly, age 51 (born May 27, 1960), inherited her eternal reward on October 29, 2011, after a courageous battle with cancer. Her love for Jesus, her family, her precious friends, and her dear animals sustained Beverly through her difficult struggles. Beverly was preceded in death by her parents, Edna and Vernon Newman, maternal and paternal grandparents, and several aunts and uncles. She is survived by her loving and devoted husband John Michael Bonsall, Sr., daughter Macayla Redrow, step-sons John Michael, Jr., Greg and Daryl Bonsall, step-daughter Susan Bonsall, sister Carol Lynn (Tracy) Swank, sister-in-law Carol Bonsall Bolen, niece Jessica Pruette and great nephew Trevor Waddington, several aunts, uncles, and cousins. In addition, she is survived by dear friends Dorothy James, Beverly Starr, and Kathy Yates, and other close friends and acquaintances too numerous to name individually. Beverly generously loved and was loved greatly by many. Her shining personality and vivacious spirit have left an eternal mark and treasured memories. A memorial service will be held Friday, November 4, 2011, at the Sharptown United Methodist Church. Visitation will be from 4-5 p.m. with a memorial service at 5 p.m., followed by a time of fellowship and refreshment. In lieu of flowers, her family requests that donations be made in her name to the Burlington County Animal Alliance, a non-profit no-kill animal rescue and placement organization located at 7 Pioneer Way, Willingboro, New Jersey. "Grieve not for your loss, but rejoice and give thanks for those whose presence have blessed you..."
