Bonnie Sawyer
Bonnie Marie (Pottebaum) Sawyer, 65, of Denver, Colorado, formerly of Clarence, Iowa, passed peacefully at home, following a long illness with her family by her side, on January 25th, 2018.
Bonnie was born October 14th, 1952 in Dubuque, Iowa to Cletus and Charlene (Hulbert) Pottebaum. Bonnie grew up in Mechanicsville, Iowa and attended Lincoln High School, Kirkwood College, and Mount Mercy College. She worked as an Administrative Assistant at the Cedar-Johnson Farm Service Co., Agri-builders, the office of Dr. Frederick Drexler, D.D.S, and the Cedar County Engineers Office. She was a member of the Clarence United Methodist Church and Iowa County Engineers Office Organization for many years. Bonnie will be remembered by her family and close friends as a person who was quick to smile, to offer a kind word, and for her thoughtful gestures.
Bonnie is survived by her two daughters, Justine (Price Wetherill), Denver, Colorado, and Christine (Michael Callahan) Fort Lauderdale, Florida; grandson, Sam Wetherill, Denver, Colorado; mother, Charlene; brother, Michael; niece, Michele; and great niece, Christina all of Mechanicsville, Iowa. She was preceded in death by her father and nephew, Jason.
The family would like to extend a special thank you to Suncrest Hospice, Christian Living Communities Home Care Services and Father Douglas Grandon of St. Vincent de Paul Catholic Parish in Denver.
To honor her love of the warmth and fun of summer, a celebration of Bonnie’s life is being planned in June. Private interment will be held at Cedar Memorial, in Cedar Rapids Iowa.
Memorial donations in memory of Bonnie may be made to www.hemochromatosis.org to support others fighting the disease or to The Iowa Department of Natural Resource Parks and Forestry to honor her love of natural places.
