Mrs. Bonny M. Lewis

.The Life of Bonny M. Lewis (June 28, 1932-April 4, 2024) Bonny M. Lewis (née Morgan) was born and grew up in Benson, NC. She graduated from Meredith College in Raleigh NC and then received a Master’s Degree in Zoology with an interest in genetics from the University of NC. She married her husband, Kenneth, in 1956, and they lived in Gainesville, FL, Baltimore, MD, and Seattle, WA, before returning to Baltimore and putting down roots. While raising two children, Bonny worked in the genetics laboratory at the Johns Hopkins Hospital. She later enrolled in a business course at Notre Dame and became the first in the family to master computers and spreadsheets, and she kept the household books for many years. Bonny loved people and has many friends from her working days at Hopkins. She was active in the parents’ group at Friends School, which her children attended K-12. She enjoyed tennis and played with various teams for years until her failing knees stopped her. Bonny loved books and poetry and was an active participant in the Renaissance Program at Notre Dame and in various book clubs. Bonny loved to travel, particularly to natural history destinations. She and Ken took the kids and grandkids on numerous trips, including camping in the Virgin Islands, whale watching in Mexico, and to the Galapagos Islands. She enjoyed river rafting with friends in the Grand Canyon and on other western rivers. Her love of the NC coast, which began in childhood, was passed down to her family through annual trips to Holden Beach. Bonny and Ken moved to Broadmead in 2015, and Bonny was active in the reading and poetry groups. Until failing health stopped her, she enjoyed exercise classes, water aerobics, and walking the circle road. In addition to her husband of 67 years, Bonny is survived by her children, Kenneth Jr and Lynn, and four grandchildren, Megan, Jesse, Katherine, and Natalie, as well as in-laws and nieces and nephews in NY, NC, SC, and FL. We will all miss her kindness, sense of humor, and love for her family. The family thanks the medical staff and other workers who cared for Bonny at Broadmead.
