Marilyn Grace Bonzo, 92 of New Sewickley Township, Pennsylvania, Peacefully passed away at her home surrounded by loving family on July 25, 2023. Born on April 3, 1931, she is preceded in death by her parents Fred and Grace McDowell, her brother Bill McDowell , and her husband of 60 years, Lydle Paul Bonzo.
Marilyn is survived by her six children, Paula Bonzo, Rick Bonzo, Karen Ruskin, Eileen Gormley and husband Dave, Janet Wigton, and Lori Barnes and husband Rusty. She is also survived by her two beautiful grandchildren, Corinna and Taylor Ruskin.
Marilyn was a loving mother and a devoted Christian, which is something she instilled in all of her children. She read her Daily Bread Devotionals every morning when she was no longer able to attend church. She loved her crosswords and watching Wheel of Fortune every night, followed by her favorite westerns. Marilyn was a very talented writer, and composed well over 200 gospel and country songs over the years. She used to go to local nursing homes to sing and play her guitar, as she said that was her way of spreading God’s word. She also loved her time at Geneva on the Lake, Ohio and she volunteered at the local food bank for years.
Marilyn’s family would like to thank all of the hard working and compassionate nurses at UPMC Passavant, and all who helped at AHN Hospice. They were all angels on mom’s journey to Heaven. She will be dearly missed by many.
The family will receive friends on Friday July 28, 2023, from 2-4 and 6-8 at Saul Gabauer Funeral Home, 273 Route 68 Rochester, PA 15074, where a funeral service will be conducted at 10:30 am on Saturday, July 29, 2023. Interment will follow at Sylvania Hills Memorial Park in Rochester, PA.
