She was a wonderful wife, big sister, and aunt and was dearly loved. Our beloved Bonnie passed away suddenly on Sept 21, 2024, at Vincentian Nursing Home.

Bonnie graduated from Mount Alvernia High School in 1967, and then attended St. Margaret's Nursing School. She became a labor and delivery nurse and loved it. While working full time, she also attended Slippery Rock College and earned her bachelor’s degree in nursing. While working at St. Margarets, she met her future husband, Dan Hagan. When St Margarets closed their Obstetrics department, Bonnie obtained a job at West Penn Hospital.

Bonnie was also a proud cat momma of two cats, Gomez and Pugsley. She always referred to them as her boys! Bonnie loved to read, shop, go on cruises, cook, and spend time with family and friends. Bonnie was loving, generous, funny and a little stubborn.
