Bonnie Lafaye Hoydal of Snoqualmie, Washington, loving mother, sister, grandmother and great-grandmother, passed away Saturday, April 17, 2021 in Issaquah. She was 90.
Bonnie was born on June 8, 1930, in Logan, Utah. She married Sid in 1956. In 1969 Bonnie and Sid settled in Moraga, California. Bonnie and Sid shared 44 beautiful years before Sid passed away in 2000. In 2017, as dementia slowly became more prominent in Bonnie's life, she moved in with her son, Jeff, in Snoqualmie, Washington.
Her grandchildren will remember her as a Mimi that empowered them to follow their dreams. She was the rock-solid foundation of love in their lives. Her family will miss hearing her laugh and seeing her eyes light up as she listened to music.
Bonnie was as elegant as they came. Those that knew her understood just how much she loved to be in the kitchen, baking or cooking. They too knew how much she loved her family, socializing with friends, and especially adored her granddaughters.
Bonnie is survived by her children Kim Geraghty, Jeffrey Hoydal, and David Hoydal; her brothers, Bruce Schaffer and Boyd Schaffer; her grandchildren, Kathryn Geraghty, Clare Geraghty, Anne Geraghty, Alexis Hoydal, and Katelyn Hoydal; and her great-granddaughter, Charlotte Kate Wright. She is preceded in death by her husband, Sidney Earl Hoydal, and her brothers, Darwin Steffenhagen and Eldon Steffenhagen.
A celebration of life is scheduled for May 2, 2021, 1 to 5 p.m. with words of remembrances at 2 p.m., at The Club at Snoqualmie Ridge.
Friends are invited to view photos and share memories on the family's tribute wall at www.flintofts.com. Flintoft's Funeral Home and Crematory, (425) 392-6444. |
