In Memory

Bonnie Mitchell (Guthrie)

On Friday June 5, 2020 Bonnie Sue (nee Mitchell) Guthrie, loving daughter, wife, mother and grandmother, passed away at the age of 64.

Bonnie was born in Strongsville, Ohio to Raymond and Ruth (nee Long) Mitchell and was fortunate to be the fourth of five siblings, Ron (Diane), Cheryl (Dr. George) Rutan, Don (Kathleen) and Dr. Marcia (John) Columbro. She married her husband Kevin on February 16, 1985 and they were blessed with three children, Katie (Daniel) Taksas, Michael (Gayle) and Matthew. Her family has grown to include her four precious grandchildren, Aidan, Elodie, Finn and Sullivan. Bonnie's love of her family was beyond compare and always her priority. She could often be found planning a party or intimate gathering for her loved ones, or sitting on the sidelines of a soccer game or dance recital. As an avid Cleveland sports fan, Bonnie and Kevin would often make weekend trips back to Cleveland with the kids in tow to enjoy the games. She especially loved the games that included fireworks displays. 

Prior to raising her family, Bonnie graduated from Kent State University with dual degrees in Marketing and Fashion Merchandising. This took her to a career with The Limited retail stores as Regional Distributor. Her career as a devoted mother and grandmother was her most prized accomplishment.

Bonnie's memory will be cherished by all of her family including her many nieces, nephews, brothers-in-law and sisters-in-law. She was preceded in death by her father Raymond and her beloved pup, Mackenzie.

In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made in Bonnie's honor to the Ohio Health Foundation at https://foundation.ohiohealth.com or the Worthington Libraries' Friends Foundation to support children's programming initiatives at https://columbusfoundation.org
