Bonnie Shaffer
Bonnie Jean Shaffer danced on the waves in the arms of Jesus on October 20, 2025.
She was born June 11, 1957 to Richard Irvin and Mary Jane (Fishbaugh) Shaffer and was a 1975 graduate of Mendon Union High School.
In 1984, she received her diploma from Lutheran Hospital School of Nursing to become an RN and in 1992, obtained a Bachelor of Science from the University of Saint Francis in Fort Wayne.
Bonnie was an active member of Olive Branch Church of God and spent many years serving as camp nurse at Camp Otyokwah. Her final place of employment was Parkview Medical Center, where she was diagnosed with an autoimmune disease, forcing her into a leave of absence, with hopes of returning post transplant.
Bonnie is survived by three sisters; Barb Williams, Betty Daniels, and Beverly Thorpe, and a brother, Bruce (Brenda) Shaffer. She also leaves 15 nieces and nephews, 39 great nieces and nephews, and 6 great great nieces and nephews, whom she proudly spoiled.
Besides her parents and grandparents, she is preceded in death by three brothers-in-law; Royce Williams, Freedus Daniels, and Phillip Thorpe, and a sister-in-law, Kay (Gillespie Arnold) Shaffer.
A memorial service will be held on Saturday, November 1st at noon, at Olive Branch Church of God, located at 18568 St Rt 118 Rockford, OH 45882, Pastor Tyler Watson officiating.
Visitation will be one hour prior to service. Memorials should be directed to Olive Branch Church of God.
