Bonnie Jean Bernier

Bonnie lit up any room with her bubbly personality and adorable smile. She was famous for her dimples. She had an infectious laugh and had a knack for making other people laugh in good and bad times.

Bonnie was witty, smart, motivated, and loved people. Those of us who were lucky enough to call her a friend know that she was loyal to the core. She had a way of making others feel like the only one in the room when she was focused on you in the conversation. Bonnie had a caring nature and loved to help people.

She leaves behind her husband, Eric Kurtz; parents, Raymond and Marilyn (Marchese) Bernier; sister, Robin (Rodney) Hutchinson; two nieces, Ella and Celine Hutchinson; and a nephew, Arthur Hutchinson.

Bonnie graduated from Naples High School. A team player, she was a force to be reckoned with on the Golf Course. She played on the Golf Team at Stetson University, DeLand, FL, where she earned a Bachelor of Art degree.

In her professional life, she worked in marketing at WCI, Naples; FKQ Advertising, Tampa; Director of Marketing at Heartland Brewery, New York City; and owner in a successful jazz restaurant, The Green Room, in New York City. Then moved back to Naples and worked in Public Relations for LJH Financial Marketing, Naples and New York.

Bonnie loved gardening, flower arranging, playing golf, cooking gourmet meals, and planning magnificent dinner parties for her family and friends. We will miss Bonnie and love her with all our hearts.

Memorial Mass will be held 10:00 AM Tuesday, November 7, 2017 at St. Williams Catholic Church 601 Seagate Dr., Naples, FL 34108. In lieu of flowers donations in Bonnie's name may be made to Avow Hospice 1095 Whippoorwill Lane, Naples, FL 34105. Condolences may be left online at www.HodgesNaplesMG.com.
